Federal High Court Nullifies PDP National Convention in Ibadan, Maintains Caretaker Committee Leadership

The Federal High Court in Ibadan nullified the PDP National Convention that took place in Oyo State on November 15, 2025, deeming it invalid. The court specifically ruled against the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee, directing the caretaker committee under Moham Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu to maintain leadership status until a legitimate convention is conducted.

This ruling signifies a significant development in the ongoing internal disputes within the main opposition party, PDP, which has been embroiled in leadership struggles and poor performance since the 2023 general elections. Despite the court's decision, the Turaki-led faction maintains its position, with the party's National Public Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, indicating plans to challenge the ruling.

The PDP has urged its members to remain calm and focused amidst the legal and political uncertainties.
