National Chairmanship: Court halts PDP Convention over Lamido's exclusion by etokhana(op): 4:21pm On Nov 14, 2025
A federal high court sitting in Abuja has made a final order restraining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from conducting its national convention scheduled to take place in Ibadan, Oyo state, on November 15 and 16.

Peter Lifu, presiding judge, gave the order on Friday while delivering judgment in a suit filed by Sule Lamido, the former Jigawa state governor.

The court had on November 11, issued a temporary order restraining the party from proceeding with the planned convention pending the determination of the substantive suit.

Let me seize this opportunity to welcome all PDP faithfuls worldwide to the beautiful Adamasingba.

The original jurisdiction of the Federal High Court to interfere in the internal affairs of a Political Party is in Section 84(14) of the Electoral Act 2022.

Lamido is a thoroughbred PDP leader, he is welcome to the Ibadan Convention and I know he means well as he supports Turaki in pushing the PDP forward.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act or rules of a political party, an aspirant who complains that any of the provisions of this Act and the
guidelines of a political party have not been complied with in the selection or nomination of a candidate of a political party for election, may apply to the Federal High Court for redress.
does this also apply to internal party convention??

To buy more time to resolve all warring factions as advised by Saraki.

That's the way forward

Even the Caretaker Committee issue must hold at the Convention, meaning the Convention will hold.

Again, whose faction will produce the Caretaker?

It does but Lamido is not an aspirant.

An aspirant is one who purchases the form, undergoes screening and attends the Convention to participate in the election.

Because of the way we have politicised our Courts, everyone is holding on to his own judgement.

If that's the case...it's better.

I agree, Wike's faction may lose out..but it's an opportunity to renegotiate and align all interests

Forget Wike. Saraki warned you, Lamido warned you, una no hear.

Every one elected at that convention is a comedian. The validity of their position will be litigated up to the Supreme Court.

You are going into the Ali Modu Sheriff years again.

The end will justify the means. This judgement is a nail on the convention.

Going ahead with the convention is a mere jamboree.

The judgement is well calculated.

You are free to do the convention

PDP doesn't look serious for 2027 elections most especially the presidential we need a focused and serious opposition party.

Lolz dey play, just dey play. So the courts will allow them do anyhow — printing one form and disenfranchising members? You don’t know anything about politics, democracy and the rule of law. Democracy works based on the rule of law, not the other way around.

For you information, the U.S. courts do step into party matters, especially when party rules intersect with constitutional rights (voting rights, association rights).
It's called judicial oversight.
