An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan has validated the 2025 National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which took place in Ibadan on November 15 and 16, 2025.
Justice Ladiran Akintola of Court 5 delivered the judgment in Suit No. I/1336/2025 on Friday shortly after ruling on an application for joinder.
In the judgment, the court granted the 13 relief put before the Court by the Claimant, Folahan Malomo Adelabi, through his Counsel, Musbau Adetunmbi.
The judgement validated the emergence of the Dr Taminu Turaki-led National Working Committee that emerged at the Convention.
Justice Akintola also granted all 13 reliefs sought, ruling that the convention complied with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Electoral Act 2022 (as amended), and other relevant electoral laws.
The court further dismissed the motions seeking a stay of proceedings and suspension of the ruling, filed by Sunday Ibrahim (SAN) on behalf of Austin Nwachukwu and two others.
The judge had earlier rejected their application for joinder, describing it as lacking merit.
