 Court bars Turaki-led faction from PDP national secretariat


A federal high court in Abuja has barred a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Kabiru Turaki from accessing the party’s national secretariat.


In a judgment delivered on Monday, Joyce Abdulmalik, the presiding judge, granted the order in a suit filed by PDP members loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).


The court also directed security agencies, including the Nigerian Police Force and the Department of State Services, to provide protection for the Wike-backed faction to access and operate from the party’s national headquarters.


Abdulmalik said the national convention organised on November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, which produced the Turaki-led faction, was conducted in defiance of subsisting court orders.


He said the exercise, therefore, amounted to a nullity, citing a breach of section 287(3) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) as well as the PDP’s constitution.


The judge described the expulsion of Wike and his allies from the party during the 2025 convention as an affront to the order of court.


“I considered the expulsion of the members of the plaintiffs as not only an affront to the subsisting judgement, but also a direct assault on a democratic and principled society,” the judge said.


“All proceedings, resolutions and decisions taken at the said convention, including the suspension of members of the first plaintiff, were unconstitutional, unlawful, null and void, and of no effect.”
