He also said that the party would soon arrange for a meeting where a new National Chairman and a substantive BoT Chairman would be appointed.
Former National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu resigned on May 20, 2015, and former BoT Chairman, Tony Anenih followed suit.
Mu’azu resigned after pressure mounted on him to vacate the office following the PDP’s defeat in the recently concluded elections.
Anenih said that he had resigned in order to let President Goodluck Jonathan occupy the position of BoT Chairman.
