A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to go ahead with its convention scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo State capital, next month.

Justice James Omotosho gave the order on Friday

The suit was filed by Austin Nwachukwu (Imo PDP Chairman), Amah Nnanna (Abia PDP chairman) and Turnah Alabh George (PDP Zonal Secretary, South-South) praying the Court amongst others:

- that properly conducted State Congresses were not held in 14 States

- That the planned National Convention holding in Ibadan from November 15-16th be rescheduled pending when valid Congresses are held in the affected States.

The persons sued are: Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the PDP, Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the party, Umar Bature, the National Organising Secretary of the party, the National Working Committee (NWC), and the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party as 1st to 6th defendants.

Others joined in the suit are Umar Damagum, the PDP National Chairman; Ali Odefa and Emmanuel Ogidi as 7th, 8th and 9th defendants respectively.

This country is messed up.
I am not a supporter of a military take over, but this could be one of the reasons the Soldiers would give to take over government unconstitutionally.
Why is it that politicians would never allow a viable opposition which always check mate the ruling party and brings out the best in governance.

I just weep for this country. The problems of Nigeria is way too much.
I wish I am from any of these tiny African countries and live my life peacefully till I exit this world.

PDP is now APC, and they are definitely not gonna field a serious candidate in 2027.

That has been Tinubu's model of winning elections! He can never win a free and fair election in Nigeria

Stupid party with ball-less men posing as leaders of the useless organisation yet, end up being randomly strangled by one selfish/greedy man.

Politics they say is a very dirty game for the intellectuals, it is not for child like minded persons.

Go rest.

Lack of cooperation, unity in that PDP party....put just all about personal interest
Re: Court orders PDP not to go ahead with National Convention by Hemanwel(m): 4:22pm On Oct 31, 2025
Chai! Wike and Tinubu don hold PDP for blokos nor be small; dey use PDP dey play ping pong. When 2027 election don remain six months, you will now hear, "court has given PDP the go ahead to conduct its national convention".

This cannot be the party that once boasted about being the largest party in Africa.

Watagwan?

It seems that the PDP is inexorably heading for total destruction.

This is likely to be the same fate of the APC after Tinubu leaves office when there may be no "on your mandate we shall stand" anymore.

Today, the APC is smirking and simpering as it watches the drama.

Every dog has its day!

Wike really hold pdp for brokos cheesy tinibu will finally be the one to end democracy in nigeria the way he is playing his politics.
Re: Court orders PDP not to go ahead with National Convention by Kelklein(m): 4:30pm On Oct 31, 2025
Nobody is really surprised, right.

They kílled that party long before now from within..

We are all just waiting for the burial date to be announced.

Just some few elements cashing out on the death of the party and using the proceeds to arrange for its burial..

Anybody there who is still interested in being a party man should either join the APC like others have been doing or join the ADC.

The only reason PDP still looks like a party is because there are still a few governors and lawmakers wearing the toga of the party but deep down their souls have left there or some have indeed sold out esp those disguising as leaders of the party.
