The Peoples Democratic Party governors-backed Tanimu Turaki (SAN)-led National Working Committee has commended the Oyo State High Court for affirming the legitimacy of the party’s Ibadan National Convention held in November 2025.
Turaki-led NWC, through a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, on Friday, hailed the ruling as a triumph for internal democracy and the cohesion of the party.
On Friday, the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan affirmed the validity of the 2025 PDP National Convention held on November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, which saw Turaki elected to lead the National Working Committee.
Justice Ladiran Akintola of Court 5 delivered the judgment after ruling on an application for joinder in the case.
The court approved all 13 reliefs requested by the claimant, Folahan Malomo Adelabi, represented by his lawyer, Musbau Adetunmbi.
In response, the PDP praised the Honourable Court for its bravery and commitment to upholding justice.
The statement read, “The Peoples Democratic Party has been informed of the judgment of the High Court of Oyo State, sitting in Ibadan, delivered by the Honourable Justice Ladiran Akintola. The court granted all the reliefs sought by the claimant, Folahan Malomo Adelabi, declaring the National Convention held in Ibadan as properly conducted and directing the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise and give full effect to all decisions and outcomes reached at the said convention, the same having been found to be proper and lawful.
