Court Nullifies PDP’s Ibadan National Convention

A High Court in Ibadan has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) November 15, 2025 national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was elected PDP National Chairman at the tense convention, which drew delegates from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
