The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, of threatening to shut down former President Goodluck Jonathan’s ratification ceremony venue in Abuja.
The PDP said Wike threatened to shut down the premises of A Class Event Centre in Abuja if the venue hosts Jonathan’s event.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee, Comrade Ini Ememobong, made this known in a statement issued via the committee’s X handle @OfficialPDPNig on Friday, May 29, 2026.

Ememobong said the PDP will resist every attempt to intimidate the opposition party.
“We state here, and for the record, that we had furnished consideration in full to consummate the earlier offer and acceptance.
“Furthermore, we had duly notified all relevant security agencies about the event. We have directed our lawyers to write, reminding A Class Event Centre of these facts. “Having satisfied these requirements, we reiterate that the special convention to ratify the presidential candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan will hold as scheduled on Saturday, 30th May, 2026, at A Class Event Centre, Wuse 2, Abuja, by 10 a.m.”
Nigerians react to Jonathan’s ratification,
@Oyibocha12 Wike should not be allowed near the President’s office; our democracy will crumble under him. @blacklawyerr Well done. Anyone who acts in furtherance of any illegality or aids illegal convention.
@haby47 Is this how you want to parade a former PDP National Leader, abeg no embarass we lover of PDP, now is not a good time.
@Jifykool10 GEJ is about to be dragged into the mud. Let’s keep watching
@AdeChukwudile PDP/GEJ all the way. Even if it’s to hold the special convention ratification under the sun and in the open, we would and nothing would stop it.
@Jfadconsult Lol… you can’t deceive us, even if Amoda and Wike work behind the scenes to field Ebele Jonathan, Nigeria will still be OK.
@VoiceOfMasses10 Wike’s PDP vs Seyi’s PDP. Na family matter. Them go resolve am. I beg Jonathan not to be used as a tool for public disturbance.
