A Federal High Court in Ibadan has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party's national convention held on November 15, 2025, and barred Tanimu Turaki from acting as chairman. Turaki, a senior advocate of Nigeria, has rejected the ruling, insisting the convention remains valid.

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party remains strong and ready to surprise its critics ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Peoples Democratic Party has withdrawn its suit challenging the blockade of Wadata Plaza, its national secretariat. The party alleges bias in the court's dismissal of the case.

Senator Muhammed Makarfi has resigned as secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party's Board of Trustees, citing the need to avoid overlap with the new national chairman from the same region. The move follows the PDP's national convention in Ibadan, where Kabiru Tanimu Turaki emerged as chairman. Makarfi's decision highlights ongoing leadership dynamics within the party.

The Peoples Democratic Party held its National Elective Convention in Ibadan on November 15, 2025, ignoring multiple court rulings aimed at stopping the event. Thousands of delegates gathered at the Adamasingba Stadium, where leaders expressed confidence in the process amid legal challenges. The convention marked a key moment for the party's repositioning.

The Northern Elders Unity Forum of the Peoples Democratic Party has voiced alarm over widespread defections of its members to the ruling All Progressives Congress in Zamfara and Kaduna states. The group attributes the moves to inducements by the Minister of State for Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle. Party officials insist the PDP remains resilient despite the challenges.
