PDP Dismisses Leadership Crisis After Supreme Court Ruling

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to claims of a leadership crisis within its ranks, asserting that the Supreme Court's ruling on April 30, 2026, has settled any disputes regarding its leadership structure. PDP officials, including Hon. Jungudo Haruna and Hon. Abdulrahman Moham, stated that the court's judgment nullified an illegitimate convention held in Ibadan and dismissed an appeal filed by a rival faction led by Kabiru Turaki.

They emphasized that the party's leadership structure remains intact and operational, countering narratives suggesting a vacuum or division within the party. The PDP also criticized rival groups for misrepresenting the court's decision and warned against further infractions.

Notably, the ruling did not address any suspensions or expulsions of party officials, reinforcing the legitimacy of the current leadership. PDP officials urged the media to refrain from portraying the party as divided and highlighted the loyalty of its members during this turbulent period.
