Kogi PDP Chairman Lauds Judgment Nullifying Ibadan Convention, Affirming
Abdulrahman, Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s Leadership

The Kogi State PDP Chairman, Hon. Muhammed Sanni Gambo, has hailed the judgement of the
Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan that affirmed the leadership of the Caretaker Committee, led by Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Recalled that the Federal High Court
nullified the National Convention of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) held on November 15, 2025.
Justice Uche Agomoh who presided over the court voided the exercise held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, citing procedural irregularities.
Consequently, the court issued a restraining order barring Mr. Turaki and other members elected at the convention from parading themselves as national officers of the party.
In a move to prevent a leadership vacuum, Justice Agomoh ruled that the Caretaker Committee, led by Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, remains the only legally recognized National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP.
This recognition stands pending the conduct of a valid and constitutionally compliant National Convention.
Reacting to the Judgement, Hon. Muhammed described the judgement as timely, will help reposition and focus the party from Litigation.
The PDP Chairman praised the Caretaker National Chairman for his outstanding qualities since assumption of office, described the Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu led leadership as one that will reposition the PDP for 2027.
He described the judgement as a no victor, no vanquished judgement, says it is in the interest of the PDP, congratulated the Caretaker Chairman on the judgement, explaining that it will enable him settle down for business.
