A Federal High Court in Ibadan has reportedly nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention that held in the Oyo State capital on November 15, 2025, declaring it invalid.
The court’s decision also prohibited members of the National Working Committee (NWC), which is led by Tanimu Turaki, from posing as party national officers.
The court ruled on Friday that, until a legitimate national convention is convened, the Caretaker Committee, which is headed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Mohammed Abdulrahman, is the only recognised leadership of the PDP.
After months of legal and political struggles over control of its national organisation, the decision represents a major turning point in the largest opposition party’s internal strife.
Following its poor showing in the 2023 general elections, the PDP has been embroiled in a leadership struggle, with several groups vying for control of the country.
