The Supreme Court has voided the national convention the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.

The apex court this Thursday afternoon, April 30, 2026, dismissed the appeal filed by the Taminu Turaki-led National Working Committee of the formerly ruling party.

Delivering the majority judgment, Justice Stephen held that the national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, last year, was in defiance of an existing judgment of the Federal High Court, delivered by Justice James Omotosho

This hands the final victory to the PDP faction led by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.

On the other hand, it translates to a big loss to the two remaining state governors in the crisis-ridden party, namely, Seyi Makinde of Oyo and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi.
