- Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister and PDP heavyweight, announced on Sunday his withdrawal from all agreements aiming to resolve the PDP crisis amid ongoing party turmoil.
- This action came after repeated violations of a gentleman’s agreement made at Bukola Saraki’s guest house, which Makinde and others reportedly breached by attempting to have the Deputy National Secretary assume the role of acting National Secretary against the agreed terms.

- He emphasized that no one must break the agreements reached during the meeting, reaffirmed that Senator Samuel Anyanwu continues to serve as the National Secretary according to the Supreme Court ruling, and condemned efforts to alter the party’s leadership as illegitimate.
- Wike vowed to continue fighting within the PDP for justice and party survival, warning that the current actions threaten the party’s unity and its ability to contest future elections effectively.
