PDP leaders brainstorm after the court ruling on Friday
The Peoples Democratic Party,PDP,has said that it would go ahead with its National Convention despite a court order to the contrary.
It will be recalled that Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday stopped the National Convention.
Omotosho ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to monitor or recognise the National Convention.
But in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP told those involved in the processes for the National Convention scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025 in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, to go ahead.
The statement described the judgment as appalling and an assault on Nigeria’s democratic process.
It said: “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.

“The PDP therefore charges its members, Chapter and Organs to remain steadfast and focused on preparations towards the holding of the National Convention of our Party.
“Nevertheless, 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 our unwavering determination to uphold, defend and promote multi-party democracy in our country.”
