The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Taminu Turaki has directed its lawyers to proceed to the Supreme Court following Monday’s ruling by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The decision comes after the appellate court affirmed an earlier judgement by the Federal High Court in Abuja which nullified the party’s national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, between the 15 and 16th of November, 2025.
While delivering the judgement, Justice Uchechukwu Onyemenam ruled that the Turaki-led faction failed to comply with constitutional requirements necessary for the conduct of a valid convention.
In its reaction, the faction described the legal contest as ongoing. This was contained in a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong.
According to the statement, the group has begun consultations within key organs of the party while preparing to challenge the ruling at the country’s highest court.

“The operationalisation of this judgement will, without fail, work untold hardship on our members.
To avert this, while we are consulting with critical organs of our party on the way forward, we have also instructed our lawyers to immediately take legal steps to appeal the same to the Supreme Court-being the apex court in the land; to conclusively adjudicate on this matter.
“We are hopeful that the apex court will expeditiously settle this matter in the interest of democracy”, the statement read.
The faction also called on its members to remain resolute while the legal process continues.
It urged supporters to stay “firm, trusting that soon this battle will be over and we shall be more than conquerors.”
