The Taminu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic, Party PDP has instructed its legal team to immediately file an appeal at the Supreme Court ove the judgement delivered on Monday by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

DAILY POST reports that the Court of Appeal upheld the decisions of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which earlier invalidated the national convention of the party held in Ibadan, Oyo State, between 15 and 16 November 2025.

Delivering judgement, Judge Uchechukwu Onyemenam held that the Turaki-led faction violated constitutional provisions required before a valid convention could be held.

Reacting, the faction, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong said the “battle is not over yet”.

“The operationalisation of this judgement will, without fail, work untold hardship on our members .

“To avert this, while we are consulting with critical organs of our party on the way forward, we have also instructed our lawyers to immediately take legal steps to appeal the same to the Supreme Court-being the apex court in the land; to conclusively adjudicate on this matter.

“We are hopeful that the apex court will expeditiously settle this matter in the interest of democracy”, the statement read.

It further urged its members to stand “firm, trusting that soon this battle will be over and we shall be more than conquerors.”
