The Supreme Court has voided the national convention the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.
In a split decision, three out of five justices, the apex court held that the appeal filed by the Turaki-led faction of the PDP lacked merit.
Delivering the lead judgement, Justice Stephen Adah held that the appellants acted in violation of a subsisting order of the Federal High Court, which had restrained them from proceeding with the convention.
The apex court upheld earlier rulings that voided the convention, which produced the Turaki-led national executive.
Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court had, in a judgement delivered prior to the convention, restrained the PDP from proceeding with the exercise until Lamido was allowed to participate.
However, the party went ahead with the convention in defiance of the court order, insisting that the matter was an internal affair beyond judicial intervention.
