Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President in Nigeria, has urged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop its ongoing legal battles regarding the disputed national convention. His comments came in light of a recent Court of Appeal ruling that upheld verdicts invalidating the previous national convention held in November 2025 in Ibadan, Oyo State. Saraki emphasized that the party should respect the judicial decision and focus on organizing a fresh national convention to meet the requirements set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In his statement, Saraki highlighted the urgency of the situation, especially given the revised timetable issued by INEC. He pointed out that waiting for a decision from the Supreme Court could further hinder the party's ability to prepare adequately for the next electoral cycle. Saraki's assertion is rooted in the belief that timely action is crucial to regain the party's footing and ensure compliance with electoral regulations, which could be jeopardized by protracted litigation.

By calling for a new convention, Saraki is not only insisting on adherence to legal frameworks but also on the necessity for the PDP to unify its ranks ahead of critical upcoming elections. His opinions reflect a significant internal party dynamics as the PDP navigates challenges in revitalizing its leadership and strategic direction following the court's ruling. This call to action may influence how the party approaches its organizational and electoral strategies in the near future, particularly as political tensions in Nigeria continue to evolve.
