Preparations are in full swing for the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo State, between November 15th and 16th, 2025, despite a court order barring the opposition party from conducting the event.
There have been conflicting judgements about the 2025 Elective National Convention of the PDP.
Last week, an Oyo High Court instructed the party and its acting national chairman, Umar Damagum, to continue with plans about the convention.
Some days later, a High Court in Abuja halted the PDP from conducting the event. It also requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to supervise the convention or recognise it.
On Thursday, a group within the party, led by Sam Anyanwu, announced the convention had been postponed — a move quickly refuted by the Damagum-led part of the PDP.
