Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, has nullified the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention held in the city in November 2025.
The Taminu Turaki group of the PDP had earlier filed suit number FHC/IB/CS/121/2025, seeking recognition of the convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15, 2025, and validation of the National Working Committee (NWC) that emerged at the convention
But in a judgment on Friday, Justice Agomoh held that the convention was conducted in flagrant disobedience to two subsisting judgments of the same court, adding that returning to seek judicial approval for actions taken in defiance of court orders was an exercise in futility.
Consequently, all decisions taken at the convention were set aside by the court.
It barred Turaki (SAN) and others who emerged as NWC members from parading themselves as such.
According to Justice Agomoh, the caretaker committee, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed and Samuel Anyanwu, is the only recognised NWC of the PDP pending the conduct of a valid national convention.
The court described the suit as a brazen attempt by the applicant to legitimize its illegalities done in violation of subsisting court orders.
It said the application failed and was thereby dismissed.
“I hold that the caretaker committee is the only lawful governing body of PDP that INEC should recognize and relate with,” the judge said.
“This suit is a brazen attempt by the applicant to legitimize its illegalities done in violation of subsisting court orders. I cannot allow that or sit on appeal over those judgments.”
