PDP Cries Foul as Court Halts Party Convention — ‘An Assault on Democracy,’ Says Party

 


Nigeria’s major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is once again in the political spotlight after a Federal High Court in Abuja stopped its planned national convention scheduled for November 15–16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The order, issued by Justice James Omotosho, came after a suit was filed by aggrieved PDP members who argued that the party’s planned convention violated its constitution and the Electoral Act, citing irregularities in the conduct of congresses in 14 states.

The court directed all parties to maintain the status quo, effectively halting preparations for the high-stakes convention where new national leaders were expected to emerge.

Reacting swiftly, the PDP leadership condemned the ruling, describing it as a “clear assault on democracy” and an attempt to destabilize the opposition. The party vowed to appeal the judgment, insisting that the court lacked jurisdiction over internal party affairs.

According to PDP spokespersons, the convention planning committee will continue its activities while the party’s legal team seeks to overturn the ruling. “No amount of judicial intimidation can stop the will of the people,” a senior party official told journalists in Abuja.

Political analysts, however, warn that the ruling could deepen divisions within the PDP at a time when unity is crucial ahead of the next general elections. The judgment also highlights the growing tension between Nigeria’s judiciary and political parties over internal democracy and legal boundaries.

For now, the final fate of the PDP convention remains uncertain as the court prepares to deliver its full judgment on the matter.
