The closing of the PDP National Secretariat was a witch hunt, according to Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.

The PDP National Secretariat and other buildings were sealed by the FCT Authority on Monday due to nonpayment of ground rent.

Olayinka insisted, however, that there was no political overtone to the enforcement action.

Olayinka told reporters in Abuja that the procedure would go on until all 4,000 of the impacted properties were shut.

He said, “We are not here for politics. If you are talking about a political witch-hunt, we have been to Ibro Hotels, we have been to Access Bank, we have been to FIRS, we have been to Total Petrol Station, and tomorrow we will go to other places.

“This exercise will continue as long as we are able to conclude taking possession of those over 4,000 properties.

“So, are we also going to say all those that I mentioned are political?”

Umar Damagum, the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, has promised not to take the party’s Secretariat’s sealing lightly.

Damagum blasted the FCTA for seizing control of the Secretariat.
