The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Taminu Turaki has said the internal crisis within the party is far from over, revealing plans to challenge a recent court ruling at the Supreme Court.
The group announced that it has directed its legal team to immediately file an appeal at the Supreme Court following Monday’s judgment by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
DAILY POST reports that the appellate court upheld an earlier decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja which nullified the party’s national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, between November 15 and 16, 2025.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Uchechukwu Onyemenam ruled that the Turaki-led faction failed to comply with constitutional requirements necessary for holding a valid party convention.
Reacting to the verdict, the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, said the struggle within the party was not yet over.
According to him, enforcing the ruling could cause significant hardship for members of the faction.
He stated that while consultations are ongoing with key organs of the party on the next steps, the faction has already instructed its lawyers to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court, which he described as the apex court capable of giving a final verdict on the dispute.
Ememobong also called on members of the faction to remain steadfast, expressing optimism that the legal battle would eventually be resolved in their favour and strengthen the party going forward.
