PDP Defies Court Orders, Proceeds with National Convention Amid Legal Challenges

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is pushing forward with its national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, despite court orders barring the event. The party's National Convention Organizing Committee (NCOC) insists on holding the convention on November 15-16, 2025, urging members to ignore claims of postponement.

The legal battle involves suits filed by PDP members challenging the party's actions, including the nomination process and the involvement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The PDP accuses the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to disrupt its convention proceedings.
