Turaki-led PDP moves to appeal nullification of Ibadan National Convention
- On Friday, the Tanimu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party said it remains `legally intact and unshaken` and has instructed its lawyers to immediately file an appeal.
- A Federal High Court in Ibadan nullified the PDP National Convention held on November 15, 2025, and Justice Uche Agomoh barred those elected from parading as party leaders.
- The court recognised the Caretaker Committee led by Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the only NWC pending a valid convention, while the Ibadan convention drew delegates from all 36 states and the FCT and deepened the party's crisis.
- The party said in a Friday statement that PDP members and supporters should remain calm as there is `absolutely no cause for alarm` despite the court declining mandamus relief.
- Factional rifts involving Governor Seyi Makinde frame longer-term stakes, as the PDP Rebirth Movement remains on course despite court rulings recognizing the Caretaker Committee, the party says.
