In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has upheld the nullification of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention held in Ibadan, declaring the exercise unlawful.
The apex court, in its judgment delivered on Thursday, dismissed the appeal filed by a faction of the party led by Babangida Aliyu Turaki, effectively affirming earlier decisions that invalidated the convention.
The ruling puts to rest the prolonged legal battle surrounding the controversial Ibadan gathering, which had sparked internal disputes within the Peoples Democratic Party.

By declaring the convention unlawful, the Supreme Court has reinforced the position that due process must be strictly followed in the conduct of party activities, particularly those involving leadership decisions and internal governance.
The judgment is expected to have far-reaching implications for the PDP’s internal structure and future political engagements, as stakeholders await the party’s next line of action in response to the ruling.
