The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has directed owners of event centres and hotels in Abuja to refuse access to any political party faction not recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), warning that title documents of non-compliant properties will be revoked.

The directive, issued Friday by Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, comes amid intensifying factional disputes within major political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
