A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and member of the party’s Board of Trustees, Bode George, has blasted Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for supervising the sealing of the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja. He recently accused Wike of betraying the party that nurtured his political career.
Speaking during an interview with Arise TV, Bode shared that Wike’s latest action was both disrespectful and politically dangerous.
The PDP chieftain stated that what Wike did can be likened to a man who went ahead to seal off his family house over a matter that could’ve been easily settled.
According to him, locking up the party’s national secretariat is absolutely unacceptable, and it was painful to know that the decision came from someone whom the PDP gave life politically.
“In regards to the locking up of our Party Secretariat, it is absolutely sacrilegious, unacceptable and culturally inadmissible. The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Wike — this is the party that brought you to life.
It’s like going back to your village and your family house hasn’t paid some ground rent, and you, as the local government chairman, lock it up. How much were we owing? Seven million naira — which you could easily pay,” he said.

Bode George disclosed that the PDP didn’t deserve such treatment from Wike after the party gave him the platform to become a local government chairman, chief of staff, two-term governor of Rivers State, and even Minister of State.
Describing the sealing of the PDP secretariat as deliberate and malicious, he expressed displeasure at how the building was sealed hours before the party was scheduled to hold a crucial National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
“I want to challenge him that they should go and check that the property being used by APC at their headquarters in Abuja, could probably be the same thing. People could be careless. It is not a monumental amount of money,” he added.
