The Supreme Court on Thursday nullified the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party held in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025.
The apex court, in a decisive ruling, set aside the outcome of the convention conducted on November 15 and 16, which produced a factional National Executive Committee led by Tanimu Turaki (SAN).
With the judgment, the court effectively invalidated all decisions and structures that emerged from the disputed convention, dealing a major setback to the Turaki-led faction.
