Federal High Court Nullifies PDP National Convention, Recognises Caretaker Committee

A Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention held on November 15, 2025.

In its ruling, the court barred members of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Tanimu Turaki from parading themselves as national officers of the party.

The court further ruled that the Caretaker Committee led by Mohammed Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the only recognised National Working Committee of the PDP, pending the conduct of a fresh and valid National Convention.

The judgment marks the latest development in the prolonged leadership and internal crisis facing the opposition party, which has been characterised by factional disputes and legal battles over the party’s national leadership.

More details are expected to emerge as reactions trail the court’s decision.
