The Digest:

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has declared that the Supreme Court verdict invalidating the PDP national convention of November 2025 has finally laid to rest all leadership disputes within the party. Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Wike said the apex court's ruling has validated the March 29 national convention, which produced Abdulrahman Mohammed and Samuel Anyanwu as national chairman and secretary, respectively. "There is only one PDP," he said.

Key Points:
  • Wike said the ruling affirms due process and internal democracy.
  • The March 29 convention produced the recognised leadership structure.
  • The November 2025 convention that produced Kabiru Turaki was invalidated.
  • Wike declared that there are no more factions in the PDP.
  • He said the PDP remains the foremost opposition party and a credible alternative to the APC.

Wike described the verdict as a "victory for the rule of law."
