The Oyo State High Court in Ibadan has cleared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to go ahead with its planned National Convention on November 15 and 16, 2025.
In a ruling delivered by Justice A. L. Akintola, the court granted an interim order permitting the party to hold the convention as scheduled in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The judge also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to attend, monitor, and observe the exercise pending the hearing of the substantive motion.

The decision followed an ex-parte application filed by Folahan Adelabi against the PDP, its Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, Governor Umaru Fintiri (representing the National Convention Organising Committee), and INEC.
Adelabi had requested that the court restrain the defendants from disrupting or truncating the timetable, guidelines, and schedule of activities leading to the convention.
After hearing the motion on Monday, Justice Akintola ruled that the claimant had shown sufficient urgency for judicial intervention, stating:
“The court finds merit in the claimant’s motion ex-parte. The same succeeds and is hereby ordered as prayed.”
The court therefore granted the interim orders, preventing any interference with the PDP’s timetable and compelling the party to hold the convention as scheduled.
The hearing of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction was adjourned to November 10, 2025.
The court’s order, dated November 3, 2025, was issued under the seal of the Oyo State High Court and signed by the Principal Registrar, S. O. Hammed.
