Court Upholds Turaki’s Chairmanship, Wike Factions Rejects Ruling

Oyo State High Court in Ibadan has upheld the validity of the November 2025 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention, affirming Kabiru Tanimu Turaki as the party's legitimate national chairman. Justice Ladiran Akintola’s ruling confirmed that the convention complied with the 1999 Constitution and other electoral laws, dismissing applications seeking to halt the proceedings. The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Turaki's National Working Committee (NWC). This decision comes amid a leadership crisis within the PDP, as a previous Federal High Court ruling in January 2026 had nullified the convention. The conflicting judgments have deepened divisions within the party, with a rival faction, reportedly aligned with Nyesom Wike, rejecting the latest ruling. Appeals are currently pending before the Court of Appeal in Abuja, and the leadership dispute remains unresolved. PDP member Andrew Enantomhen joins the discussion.
