The court accused the opposition of breaching its rule.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, vowed that preparations for the national convention would go on.

This was contained in a statement Ologunagba issued via the PDP X handle @OfficialPDPNig on Friday night, October 31, 2025.

Ologunagba described Justice Kolawole Omotosho’s judgement as an assault on Nigeria’s democratic process.

“However, the PDP states that the judgment of the court does not vitiate its ability to proceed with the processes and activities towards the National Convention to elect new National Officers to pilot the affairs of the Party for the next four years.”
