JUST IN: INEC Declines To Recognise Turaki-Led PDP Leadership

Wale busari01 mins

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declined to recognise the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Kabiru Turaki, citing ongoing court cases and existing judicial rulings. INEC made its position known in a letter dated December 22, 2025, signed by its Secretary, Dr Rose Oriaran-Anthony. The commission stated that it could not honour requests to acknowledge or publish on its official website the list of national officers said to have emerged from the PDP’s National Convention held in Ibadan on November 15 and 16, 2025. INEC explained that its decision is anchored on subsisting court judgments as well as unresolved legal processes tied to the leadership crisis rocking the party. It stressed that recognising any factional leadership while the dispute remains before the courts would be improper, adding that it will await the final outcome of the legal proceedings before taking any action.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has thrown its weight behind Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh Okoye as the National Secretary of the Party. The NWC on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 extensively considered the Memo dated 11th February, 2025 presented by the Acting National Chairman on the issue of the National Secretary of the PDP. The NWC in considering the Memo thoroughly examined the attached documents namely; the Declaratory Judgement of the High Court of Enugu, the Judgment of the Court of Appeal, Enugu Division which pronounced and declared Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh Okoye as the National Secretary of the PDP; the Legal Opinion and Advice by Dr. Kabiru T. Turaki SAN as well as that of the National Legal Adviser of the PDP. After due consideration of the Memo and the attachments, the NWC overwhelmingly recognises, acknowledges and confirms Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the PDP in full compliance with and obedience to the Judgement of the Court of Appeal, recognizing that there is no subsisting or superseding Judgment or Order from any Court of superior authority or hierarchy. The NWC has commenced the transmission of its Resolution/Decision affirming Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh Okoye as the PDP National Secretary to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant bodies for recognition in line with the judgment of the Court of Appeal. The NWC commended all Organs, leaders, critical stakeholders and members of the PDP for their steadfastness, respect for the Rule of Law and loyalty to the Party at this critical time. The NWC reassured that it will continue to be guided strictly by the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017), Operational Guidelines, the Rule of Law and the vision of our founding fathers for the stability and growth of the Party, entrenchment of democracy and wellbeing of Nigerians.
