A Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State on Friday nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention held on November 15, 2025.
The court barred members of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, from parading themselves as national officers of the party.
In its ruling, the court affirmed that the Caretaker Committee headed by Mohammed Abdulrahman, alongside Senator Samuel Anyanwu, remains the only recognised National Working Committee of the PDP pending the conduct of a valid National Convention.
Meanwhile, the Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party has announced plans to appeal a judgment delivered on Friday by the Federal High Court in Ibadan, following the court’s refusal to grant an order of mandamus.
In a statement posted by PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, on X account on Friday, the Turaki-led PDP faction confirmed that it has instructed its legal team to immediately file an appeal and pursue all necessary legal steps to protect its position in the matter.
Despite the setback, the party emphasised that the Kabiru Turaki-led faction, which emerged from the Ibadan Convention, remains legally intact and unshaken.
The party said it is awaiting the final pronouncement of the appellate courts, which it believes will uphold its position.
