Federal High Court in Abuja issued an interim order barring the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising any outcome of the party’s planned national convention scheduled for November 15–16, 2025.

Delivering the ruling, Justice James Omotosho held that the PDP violated key provisions of the Electoral Act and its own constitution in the build-up to the convention.

Why the Court Stopped the Convention Outcome

The court cited several procedural breaches by the PDP, including:

Failure to conduct mandatory congresses in some states.

Issuing party notices and official correspondence signed only by the National Chairman, without the National Secretary’s signature a practice the judge ruled unconstitutional.

Failure to give INEC the statutory 21-day notice before holding meetings and congresses, denying the commission its legal right to monitor.

Justice Omotosho consequently restrained INEC from “receiving, publishing, or recognising” the outcome of the convention pending full compliance with the law.

The Suit

The case was filed by three PDP members:

Austin Nwachukwu (Imo)

Amah Abraham Nnanna (Abia)

Turnah Alabh George (South-South Secretary)

They argued that the party leadership was conducting the convention in violation of laid-down procedures, thereby disenfranchising members.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria. The court found him guilty of terrorism charges, including inciting violence and membership of a proscribed organization. Justice James Omotosho, who delivered the judgment, described Kanu's actions as "barbaric, unconscionable, and aimed at causing anarchy". The court held that Kanu's broadcasts and declarations constituted acts of terrorism, and that he had failed to rebut the prosecution's evidence. The prosecution had sought the death penalty, arguing that Kanu's actions had led to the deaths of security personnel and destruction of public infrastructure. However, the court opted for life imprisonment instead. Kanu's trial has been ongoing since 2021, and he has been held in custody since his arrest in June 2021. His lawyers had argued that the trial was unfair and that Kanu was a victim of po...

According to Daily Mail, Mwenda allegedly gained unauthorized access to the Law Society of Kenya’s portal by uploading his photo and credentials under the name of a legitimate lawyer, Brian Mwenda Ntwiga.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been transferred from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody in Abuja to a correctional facility in Sokoto, according to his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor. This move comes after Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja for terrorism-related charges. Ejimakor expressed concern over the relocation, stating it would distance Kanu from his lawyers, family, and loved ones. The decision to move Kanu to Sokoto has been questioned, with some drawing parallels to the treatment of former Nigerian leader Obafemi Awolowo, who was sent to the East after his conviction in 1963. Kanu's family and legal team have raised alarms over the move, citing concerns for his safety and well-being. The Nigerian government has not officially commented on the transfer.
