Federal Court Nullifies PDP Ibadan Convention, Bars Turaki

The Federal High Court in Ibadan has nullified the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Ibadan National Convention held on November 15, 2025, due to legal flaws. The court's ruling bars Turaki and other party members from assuming national leadership roles, citing a disregard for legal orders and party guidelines.

This decision has led to a significant power vacuum within the main opposition party. The court found the convention's foundation to be legally flawed, with no legitimate leadership emerging.

The judgment highlighted that the convention committee failed to address fundamental issues, rendering the event illegitimate. This ruling has disrupted the PDP's leadership structure and operations, impacting its political standing and internal dynamics.
