The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Taminu Turaki, has promised to challenge the ruling of a federal high court in Ibadan.
According to reports, the court declared the PDP National Convention, which took place in the capital of Oyo State on November 15, 2025, to be unlawful.

In its decision, the court also prohibited members of the National Working Committee (NWC), which is headed by Turaki, from posing as party national officers.
The court’s ruling on Friday said that, until a legitimate national convention is convened, the Caretaker Committee, which is headed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Mohammed Abdulrahman, is the only recognized leadership of the PDP.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, responded in a statement by saying that there is no reason to be concerned in spite of the court ruling.

“We are aware of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, judgment delivered this morning, which essentially declined to grant the order of mandamus sought on the grounds that doing so would, in the court’s view, amount to sitting on appeal over judgments of courts of coordinate jurisdiction,” he said in his statement.
As a result, we have instructed our attorneys to submit an appeal right now and to take all additional legal action required to strengthen our case and defend our stance on this issue.
The Kabiru Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party, which came from the Ibadan Convention, is still legally intact and unwavering notwithstanding this ruling, while we await the appellate courts’ definitive ruling.

As a result, we implore our members to stay steadfast and dedicated because there is nothing to be alarmed about. The REBIRTH movement is still moving in the right direction.
