S/Court Verdict : PDP BOT Affirms Continuity Of Party Leadership

The Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has acknowledged the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

He explained that the judgment of the Supreme Court affirms the earlier decisions of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal, which nullified the purported National Convention of the Party held on the 15th and 16th of November 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“As the conscience and moral compass of the Party, the BOT fully respects and accepts the judgment of the Supreme Court.Consequently, the legal position remains clear and unambiguous.”

“The said Ibadan Convention stands nullified, and any structure emanating from it has no legal foundation. Accordingly, the leadership structure of the Party under Alhaji Abdulrahman Mohammed National Chairman,
Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, National Secretary remains the valid and stabilizing authority to guide the affairs of the Party at the national level.”

He assured that the Party remains fully functional and will continue to operate through its recognized organs in line with the Constitution of the Party (as amended in 2017).

He noted that necessary constitutional steps will be taken, as appropriate, to further strengthen the Party’s unity, stability, and preparedness for upcoming electoral engagements.

He called on all members of the Party to remain focused, united, and committed, emphasizing that PDP remains strong, resilient, and committed to its historic mission of providing credible leadership to Nigeria.

“This is a moment for discipline, loyalty, and collective commitment to the ideals and future of the Party.”
