The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has obtained a court order allowing it to proceed with its national convention scheduled for November 15-16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Oyo State High Court granted the order after an ex parte application filed by PDP chieftain Folahan Malomo Adelabi.
The court directed the PDP leadership to adhere strictly to the guidelines, timetable, and schedule of activities earlier released for the convention.
Justice Ladiran Akintola stated that the claimant had established a case warranting urgent judicial intervention and commended Adelabi’s demonstration of transparency by filing a motion on notice for interlocutory injunction alongside the ex parte application.
The court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to attend, monitor, and observe the conduct of the convention in line with the Electoral Act.
The convention aims to elect new national officers and resolve key zoning and internal issues ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This ruling paves the way for the PDP to hold its national convention as planned, despite internal disputes and conflicting court orders.
