The Federal High Court located in Ibadan has declared null and void the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that was held on November 15, 2025. This ruling prevents Turaki and others from acting as national officers within the party.

Despite facing internal conflicts, the PDP proceeded with its much-anticipated two-day elective National Convention at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Adamasingba, Ibadan. Dubbed #Ibadan2025, the event attracted a considerable turnout of party delegates and leaders.

Members of the party alongside legal professionals are now seeking more information regarding the ramifications of this judgment on the PDP's national leadership framework.
