The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday dismissed claims of division within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), insisting that the party remains united ahead of its national convention.
Speaking with journalists after inspecting ongoing and completed infrastructure projects across Abuja, Wike said there is no faction within the PDP, noting that only a few individuals may have grievances.
“We have only one PDP, no faction,” he declared, adding that disagreements within the party do not amount to a split.
“I don’t know which camp you are talking about. There is only one PDP. Some individuals may not be happy, yes, but there is no faction,” he said, adding that reconciliation efforts could still continue alongside preparations for the party’s convention.
“That there is convention does not mean there will be no reconciliation. Everything has its own time,” he noted.
Earlier during the inspection, Wike said the FCT Administration remains committed to monitoring projects to ensure quality delivery and timely completion.
“In our usual programme, we make sure we go round to see what the contractors are doing and the quality of jobs they will hand over,” he said.
He disclosed that the bridge project near the Fire Service is nearing completion, with contractors assuring delivery within the next five months.
“From what we have seen, it is a very quality job. I commend the company,” he said.
The minister also confirmed that the N5 road project handled by Julius Berger has been fully completed and is scheduled for inauguration during President Bola Tinubu’s third anniversary.
At the Nigerian Law School, Wike expressed satisfaction with the construction of 10 staff bungalows, describing them as completed and well furnished.
He also inspected ongoing hostel projects, commending the contractor handling the female hostel for good progress while expressing concern over delays in the male hostel.
“I am quite impressed with the female hostel, but I am not impressed with the level of work on the male hostel. They were awarded at the same time,” he said, although contractors have promised delivery by October or November.
Wike described the intervention at the Law School as unprecedented, noting that it marks the first time government is providing such infrastructure for the institution.
“This is the first time a government is trying to provide basic infrastructure for the Nigerian Law School,” he stated.
Addressing concerns over funding and the pace of projects, the minister attributed the administration’s performance to prudent resource management and strong political will.
“It is not about the amount of money, but commitment. You can have all the money and still not achieve results if you are not committed,” he said.
According to him, the FCT Administration relies largely on internally generated revenue (IGR) and only awards contracts it has the capacity to fund.
“Projects we don’t have money for, we will not award them,” Wike stressed.
He credited the sustained momentum to the support of President Tinubu, noting that leadership backing has been critical to delivering infrastructure across the capital.
“The momentum we are getting is because we have a President who believes in providing infrastructure. That support makes the difference,” he added.
Wike assured residents that ongoing projects would be completed as scheduled, reiterating the administration’s commitment to improving infrastructure and service delivery in the FCT.

Popular Nigerian gospel singer Asu Ekiye has finally opened up on how his estranged wife, Kunemofa Asu, initiated the divorce proceedings that led to the dissolution of their 28-year marriage.
Ekiye, popularly known as the “Prince of the Niger Delta”, made the clarification in a statement shared on social media.
The clarification followed reactions to his earlier announcement on Thursday that his marriage to Kunemofa, which began in 1998, had ended.
The announcement sparked widespread reactions from fans of the award-winning singer, especially netizens, with many expressing shock at why a marriage of that length could have been salvaged.
However, following public curiosity, the singer, in a new post, clarified that his wife initiated the split and filed for divorce without a prior quarrel, and that reconciliation efforts failed.
Ekiye said his wife had expressed her desire to end the marriage, moved out of their home, and subsequently instituted divorce proceedings.
“The decision regarding the dissolution of my marriage was not one I initiated.
“Having done all I could to seek reconciliation, I eventually came to the difficult decision to accept the reality of the situation,” he said.
The singer said he spent about a year making efforts to reconcile with his wife and preserve the marriage, but she remained firm in her decision.
Ekiye said he decided to clarify the circumstances surrounding the divorce after receiving numerous calls and messages following his announcement about the end of the marriage.
He said he bore no bitterness or ill will towards his former wife and had chosen to approach the new phase of his life with dignity and respect for all concerned.
“I bear no bitterness or ill will toward anyone,” he said.
The Nigerian Navy (NN) has handed over nine suspected stowaways to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) after rescuing them from a merchant vessel in Lagos.
The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Beecroft effected the handover on Friday following the discovery of the suspects concealed in the propeller compartment of MT *Evgenia* two days earlier.
According to a statement by the Commander of NNS Beecroft, Commodore Aiwuyor Adams-Aliu, the suspects were found on Wednesday, August 19, and evacuated to the naval base for preliminary investigation and profiling.
He said investigations revealed that the suspects boarded the vessel while it was berthed at the Flour Mills Jetty in Apapa, allegedly intending to travel illegally to Europe.
The suspects were identified as Thompson Vincent, 23; Emmanuel Philip, 24; Tobi Olalekan, 32; Omotayo Adebowale, 43; Abdullahi Idowu, 21; Tunde Mustapha, 19; Jamiu Ismaila, 25; Ibrahim Alabi, 30; and Christian Kadiri, 22.
Adams-Aliu said the handover was part of ongoing collaboration among security agencies to curb illegal migration and strengthen maritime security.
He urged parents, guardians and other authority figures to discourage young people from attempting to board seagoing vessels illegally, noting that the dangers associated with the practice extended beyond Nigeria to other West African coastal states.
He added that NNS Beecroft would continue to support the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, in deploying a professional naval force to safeguard Nigeria’s maritime interests and support national security operations.
