The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in two appeals filed by the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The faction is challenging the recognition of the Ibadan national convention held on November 15 and 16, 2025, in Oyo State, seeking validation of its outcome. The appeal hearings took place on Wednesday, with the court yet to issue a ruling on the matter. The Turaki faction argues that the convention it convened was the legitimate party event. The dispute centers on which group represents the official leadership of the PDP. The court's decision is expected to clarify the legal standing of the faction's claims. No date has been given for the judgment delivery.
Tanimu Turaki's faction is asking the court to endorse a convention it organized, even as the party remains split. If the court validates the Ibadan event, members aligned with the opposing faction could be stripped of their positions. This creates uncertainty for PDP officeholders whose status depends on which group is recognized. The ruling will determine not just party control, but the political fate of named individuals.
