Court of Appeal Hears Legal Challenges to PDP National Convention Legality

The Court of Appeal in Abuja is currently reviewing multiple appeals challenging the legality of the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State in November 2025. The case seeks to determine the validity of the party's current national leadership.

The appeals stem from conflicting judgments issued by three Federal High Courts and a State High Court regarding the conduct of the convention. The convention was attended by top PDP officials, including Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed and National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu.

Legal battles surrounding the convention have raised questions about its legitimacy, with conflicting court orders issued on whether the event should proceed. Notably, some key figures like Nyesom Wike did not participate in the convention due to legal challenges.

The Court of Appeal's ruling is expected to settle the controversy surrounding the convention and the leadership of the PDP.
