Court nullifies PDP National Convention, bars Turaki, others from parading as party officers

The Federal High Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention held in Ibadan on November 15, 2025.

In its ruling, the court barred members of the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) from parading themselves as national officers of the party.

The judgment further recognised the Caretaker Committee led by Mohammed Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the only legitimate NWC of the PDP, pending the conduct of a valid National Convention.

The ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing internal crisis within the PDP, which has seen competing factions lay claim to the party’s national leadership

The court’s decision is expected to have wide-ranging implications for the party’s organisational structure and may shape the process for selecting future leadership.

More details are expected as party stakeholders respond to the judgment.
