The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will not deal with Kabiru Turaki’s faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, because several court judgments – and fresh suits – still hang over who runs the party.
In a December 22, 2025 letter signed by its Secretary, Dr Rose Oriaran-Anthony, INEC told the Turaki group it would neither recognise nor post online the list of “national officers” produced at the November 15-16, 2025 convention in Ibadan.
The commission said any move to accept factional executives while cases are still in court would breach the subsisting judgments it is bound to respect, so it is staying out until the judiciary decides.
More to come…
