Breaking: Turaki-led PDP faction loses as Supreme Court voids Ibadan convention

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has voided the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025. This convention produced a factional leadership led by Tanimu Turaki, SAN, but was preceded by legal disputes regarding its legitimacy. A Federal High Court had barred the convention due to breaches of the party's constitution and the exclusion of certain aspirants. The Supreme Court's decision affirms earlier judgments and concludes the legal tussle over the legitimacy of the leadership that emerged from the convention.
