The Peoples Democratic Party PDP has said that it is aware of the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court in Ibdan Friday nullifying the Congress that elected the Turaki – led National Working Committee NWC highlighting the next legal step over the matter.
In a statement shortly after the judgement, the PDP through its National Public Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong said there is “absolutely no cause for alarm as the Turaki – led NWC remains legally intact and unshaken”.
The party therefore urged its supporters to remain resolute stressing that there is nothing to worry about.
“We are aware of the judgment of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, delivered this morning, which essentially declined to grant the order of mandamus sought on the ground that doing so would, in the court’s view, amount to sitting on appeal over judgments of courts of coordinate jurisdiction.
*We have accordingly briefed our lawyers to immediately file an appeal and to take all further legal steps necessary to advance our arguments and firmly protect our position on this matter.
“Notwithstanding this judgment, the Kabiru Turaki–led Peoples Democratic Party, which emerged from the Ibadan Convention, remains legally intact and unshaken, as we await the authoritative pronouncement of the appellate courts.
“We therefore urge our members to remain resolute and committed as there is absolutely no cause for alarm. The REBIRTH movement remains firmly on course.
The Federal High Court in Ibdan had Friday morning nulified the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on November 15,2025
The court barred the Turaki- led NWC from parading themselves as National officers of the party
It held that the Caretaker Committee led by Mohammed Abdul Rahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the only legitimate NWC pending the conduct of a valid National Convention of the party.
The PDP has been polarised for more than two years with each group suing the other over what appears to be a battle of supremacy.
Since the Presidential primary in 2022 that led to the emergence of Atiku Abubakar,a former Vice President of the country as candidate, the PDP has known no peace as factions emerged leading to an unsuccessful outing at the 2023 General Election and currently ,an Implosion as recent events indicate.
