.Just In:Supreme Court Nullifies PDP National Convention Held in Ibadan

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has nullified the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.

In a split judgment delivered on Thursday, three out of five justices of the apex court held that the appeal filed by the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the party lacked merit.

Delivering the lead judgment, Stephen Adah ruled that the appellants acted in violation of a subsisting order of the Federal High Court, which had restrained them from proceeding with the planned convention.

The court held that proceeding with the convention in defiance of the existing court order rendered its outcome invalid.
