While the hoopla spread , President Tinubu directed\u00a0 the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to unseal all 3,794 affected properties, including the PDP headquarters.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, as of 11AM on Wednesday, the PDP headquarters remained locked, with a padlock bearing the FCTA\u2019s seal and an official sticker still affixed to the gate.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">President Tinubu had also granted a 14-day grace period for defaulting property owners to settle outstanding ground rent payments along with a penalty of N2 million and to regularize their land titles.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A visit by Pointblanknews.com\u00a0 to the area revealed that other hitherto sealed properties\u00a0 in Wuse Zone 5, such as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Ibro Hotel, Total Filling Station, and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), had\u00a0 already been unsealed in line with the President\u2019s directive.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A PDP staff member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, claimed FCTA officials visited the area but avoided unsealing the party\u2019s premises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I was here yesterday when the FCTA staff came around. They went to FIRS, Ibro Hotel, NAPTIP and unsealed all of them. When they came to our office, they quickly drove away.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I followed them to their office and met with the director of Lands but he said that they are still waiting for instructions from AGIS to unseal PDP,&#8221; the source said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a telephone conversation with our correspondent, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, stated, &#8220;I will rather not want to talk about it right now. We shall take the appropriate action at the right time.&#8221; He said while declining to answer further questions.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo The national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja remained sealed on Wednesday 36 hours after President Bola Tinubu directed the Minister of the Federal&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
