Court Upholds Abdulrahman's PDP Leadership Over Wabara
On November 4, 2026, the Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by Senator Adolphus Wabara and seven others, which challenged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Abdulrahman. The three-member special panel, presided over by Justice Ugochukwu Anthony Ogakwu, along with Justices Laja Balogun and Ruquayat Oremei Ayoola, delivered the judgment in appeal number CA/ABJ/CV/1221/2026.
The appellants sought to overturn a previous ruling by Justice Salim and requested that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recognize an Interim National Working Committee led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN). The court upheld the lower court's decision, rejecting both requests.
Following the ruling, the Turaki-led faction accepted the court's decision but indicated plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, emphasizing their commitment to their legal pursuit and the future of the PDP as a credible opposition force.
