Makinde’s Camp Loses Out As Supreme Court Nullifies PDP Ibadan Convention

 

The Supreme Court has invalidated the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Ibadan, Oyo state, on November 15 and 16, 2025.

In a split decision delivered on Thursday, three out of five justices of the apex court held that the appeal filed by the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the PDP lacks merit.

 

Stephen Adah, who read the majority decision, held that the appellants violated a susbsisting order of the federal high court which restrained them from proceeding with the planned convention.
