BREAKING: Wike Takes Over PDP Headquarters The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has announced that the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) will begin the takeover of properties in Abuja over unpaid ground rent, starting Monday, May 26, 2025. POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the land housing the permanent headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), currently under construction in Abuja’s Central Business District, is among the affected properties, having been revoked in March due to several years of unpaid ground rent. The announcement was made on behalf of Wike during a joint press briefing in Abuja on Friday, featuring key FCTA officials including the Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka; Director of Land Administration, Mr. Chijioke Nwankwoeze; and Director of Development Control, Mr. Mukhtar Galadima. The officials disclosed that 4,794 titles had been revoked for failure to pay ground rent, with some defaults dating back 43 years. Among the affected properties is the PDP’s permanent headquarters, under construction in the Central Business District of Abuja. “Ownership of the revoked 4,794 properties in the Central Area, Garki I and II, Wuse I and II, Asokoro, Maitama, and Guzape districts had already reverted to the FCTA. And as from Monday, next week, the government will begin to exercise its rights of ownership on the affected landed properties,” the officials said. “As usual, this will be done without consideration as to ownership of the affected landed properties. It will be purely in line with extant laws and regulations guiding the process.” The revocations were carried out under Section 28(5)(a)(b) of the Land Use Act, which empowers the government to reclaim land when the terms of occupancy are violated, the statement said. The FCTA said the affected owners had defaulted on over N6.96 billion in ground rent, and recalled that the administration had given a 21-day grace period for owners with debts under 10 years, which has now expired. Speaking during the briefing, the Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, emphasized, “It is clearly stipulated in the terms and conditions of the grant of Right of Occupancy, and it is due for payment on the first day of January, each year, without demand.” “There was no court decision on the revocation, and as such, the FCTA is not restricted in the discharge of its lawful functions on the affected properties.” Director of Development Control Mukhtar Galadima confirmed that enforcement would begin on Monday. He said the FCTA will begin sealing off the affected properties and restricting access on Monday.

THE ARK IS A GLOBAL PROJECT THIS MINISTRY IS IN THE OCEAN-DIMENSION OF SUPPLIES. NO MATTER HOW YOU FETCH WATER FROM AN OCEAN, IT CAN NEVER REDUCE. THERE IS NO OFF-DAY AT THE ARK AND THOUSANDS ARE BEING PAID DAILY YET NO FINANCIAL DECREASE. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr During the Third Service of Breaking Generational Curses Service, Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr admonished the congregation to align with the Covenant of Abundance for unlocking supernatural prosperity beyond economic limitations. He further stated that the blessings of God in the Ministry is beyond description as seen in the ongoing Ark Project. He said: “Commit to the Covenant of Abundance. Deuteronomy 8:18. No matter how things go in the economy, those who are connected to the Covenant are always superior to the economy. You don't need to look far, look at this Commission, you see the blessing of God here - It is beyond description. Look at the Ark Project, going on and on and on. You see people there working in their thousands on a daily basis. Church Gist. You see machinery, you see equipment, you see supplies, you see all manner of things going there. Every one of them cost money, it doesn't cost ordinary money, it costs money, money! Is somebody getting it? Heavyweight, indescribable money but yet no pressure. You've not come here one day since that Project from foundation to where it is now. You have never come here one day where they say: “Now! Ark is going on, you must give a sacrifice that goes towards the Ark!” Not one! Not a casual offering! A Global project without a human finger. Church Gist. That's the power of the Covenant! Is somebody getting it? There is no off-day at the Ark, every day work is going on - Monday to Sunday! Today, they are working and you know when work is going on that means spending is going on every hour! As you're breathing in oxygen in and out, that's how money is flowing out like that towards that Project every single day. Is somebody getting it? And yet there is no depletion. Fetch water from the ocean from now till tomorrow, the level will not go down. Is somebody getting it now? Go to bar beach connect your water pipe there, say today: “This water must go down!” Pump it 'tire', it won't go down. Why? Oceanic-dimension of supply! Now that is at the frequency of the Covenant! It didn't start like that, God's servant has shared the testimony with us before - 1984, 18,000 (naira) was the income of this Church - January to December! But you can start with the Covenant on the floor but you cannot remain on the floor with the Covenant. Is somebody getting it now? Somebody's level is changing!”

“What if I told you you’re doing it all wrong?” They lied to you about Day one. Forget the scale. Forget the mirror. Your first 30 days? Isn’t about shrinking. It’s about becoming the kind of person who doesn’t quit. Crash diets fail. Massive weight loss?—A red flag Gym guilt fades. Why? You’re chasing outcomes—not building patterns of operations. Month one is about wanting the grind: → Rewiring cravings into curiosity. → Swapping guilt for grit. → Trading excuses for “executions.” Not sexy. Not instant. But this is how you outlast everyone; It's the boring, brutal, beautiful truth: → Salad? It’s practice for saying “no” to office donuts. → Lifting weights? Training to out-stubborn life’s chaos. → Water over soda? A silent middle finger to marketing. Failures? Good. Every skipped snack, Every long walk— They’re stitches sewing your new DNA. 30 days from now, you won’t “have” discipline. You’ll be discipline. Stop chasing quick fixes. Start building a "You" that can’t be broken. Today’s the day your future self takes over. Prove it right. Repeat this until it’s who you are. Hence, weak foundations crumble. Your new life? Built on steel. Start stacking bricks, Because every right choice, is a health construct. It's #MagiikMonday 💪
