The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja stopping it scheduled November National Convention in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital as an assault on Nigeria’s democratic process.
This was as the PDP declared that it was appalled by the judgement delivered by Justice Kolawole Omotosho on Friday, October 31, 2025.
A statement by Hon Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, noted the recent judgement of the Supreme Court which affirmed the supremacy of a political party in the management of its internal affairs.
Ologunagba however, stated that the judgment of the court did not vitiate the Party’s ability to proceed with the processes and activities towards the National Convention to elect new National Officers to pilot the affairs of the Party for the next four years.
In the words of Ologunagba; “Our Party notes the recent judgement of the Supreme Court which affirms the supremacy of a political party in the management of its internal affairs”.
Accordingly, the PDP charged its members, Chapter and Organs to remain steadfast and focused on preparations towards the holding of the National Convention of the Party.
Ologunagba further said that vevertheless, the PDP as the leading opposition Party in Nigeria committed to the Rule of Law has accordingly directed its lawyers to take immediate action to appeal this judgment in its unwavering determination to uphold, defend and promote multi-party democracy in our country.
