Nigerian Court Nullifies PDP National Convention

The Nigeria===Federal High Court of Nigeria in Nigeria===Ibadan, Nigeria===Oyo State, nullified the Nigeria===People s Democratic Party's National Convention held on November 15, 2025. The court ruled that the convention was conducted in flagrant disobedience to subsisting court judgments. Consequently, the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee was barred from parading themselves as national officers of the Nigeria===People s Democratic Party. The court affirmed that the Caretaker Committee, led by Mohamed Abdel Rahman and Samuel Anyanwu, is the only recognized NWC of the Nigeria===People s Democratic Party until a valid convention is conducted. This ruling follows a protracted leadership dispute within the party, with various factions, including one loyal to Nyesom Wike, challenging the legality of the convention. The Nigeria===Independent National Electoral Commission has been instructed to recognize only the caretaker committee.
