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.
