PDP Dismisses Leadership Vacuum Claims After Court Ruling

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has firmly rejected claims of a leadership vacuum in the wake of a Supreme Court judgment delivered on April 30, 2026. The party asserts that its national chairman, Abdulrahman Moham, and national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, continue to lead the organization.

This statement was made during a press conference at Wadata Plaza, Abuja, where party officials, including Mao Ohuabunwa, urged the public to disregard what they termed as propaganda from Adolphu Wabara and others. The Supreme Court ruled that the PDP's national convention held in Ibadan on November 15-16, 2022, led by Tanimu Turaki, violated an existing restraining order.

The court's decision did not address the suspension or expulsion of party officials, emphasizing that the leadership structure remains intact. The PDP warned against attempts to destabilize the party and clarified that there is no provision in the party's constitution that grants the board of trustees the power to assume leadership.
