Be that as it may, as a component of the conditions for a peace bargain struck between the national authority of the gathering and bothered individuals from the gathering's Board of Trustees under the aegis of Concerned Stakeholders, the proposed changes to the constitution is to be suspended.
Shockingly, the Board of Trustees meeting which saw a raucous session, later finished on a quiet note with every one of the factionalized groups, incorporating key performers in the concerned partners' gathering, consenting to permit the tradition to continue furthermore acknowledged the plot for Sheriff to proceed in office as the national director after the convention.

"Three choices were settled upon today, one is that regardless of the very much enunciated proposition of numerous profoundly regarded pioneers and individuals that the tradition ought not proceed as arranged all together permit more opportunity to determine our disparities, the agreement feeling, since we don't vote in the BoT in light of the fact that an isolated BoT turns into a separated still, small voice.
"By accord, we chose to bolster the NWC and NEC' s choices that tradition ought to hang on May 21. Also every one of the grievances which have been plainly and very much verbalized by good natured pioneers with the end goal of making the gathering more grounded, not grievances pushed simply to spread the gathering or factionalize the gathering will be painstakingly investigated and during the time spent political thought, and designing, we will perceive how to convey everybody along.
"We consented to suspend changes to the constitution. We set out to request that the tradition amend the movement to zone the presidential ticket toward the north. At the point when that happens the chairmanship will consequently be return toward the south as per PDP zoning standard and convention.
"At long last, certain states where there were watched tested amid the congresses, which even the executive and governors recognized, the gathering will investigate what happened in those states and offer some kind of reparation.
In spite of the fact that not explicitly expressed, the BoT seemed to have acknowledge terms to permit the zoning plan which favored occupant national director to hold his position at the following tradition.
At the point when asked whether the BoT could remove a promise from Sheriff that he would willing stride down at whatever point the gathering formally zones its presidential ticket toward the north, Maduekwe said: "I trust the aggregate knowledge and aggregate honor of the authority of the gathering will guarantee that duties are respected."

"Give me a chance to say plainly that it has been an exceptionally dynamic minute for the gathering and one ought not be in any uncertainty that the BoT is an entryway store elastic stamp, far be it.
"So we have moved far from the verge and are prepared to join ourselves and we are cheerful to declare that every one of our dialogs today fixated on gathering solidarity. We have moved far from the edge and we are a more grounded gathering prepared now to be a rehashed PDP.
Prof. Jerry Gana who was blamed for bringing about an obligation of N500 million on behalf of the gathering through a credit acquired from Sky Bank, to raise cash. He said he was neither a signatory to the record of the gathering nor was he in the panel as he hosts other national officers of the get-together, similar to the National Financial Secretary and Treasurer were in his group.
As indicated by Gana, it is the NWC that ought to be reprimanded for not regarding the terms of the credit to pay back the advance to the bank as stipulated.

The BoT saw an unruly withdrawal as hostile to Sheriff powers endeavored to push a plan to get the gathering to put off Saturday's national tradition. This gathering held up till the decision of the new BoT initiative was closed before raising the contention such that the arrangement for the tradition did not meet expected standard. They blamed the out of the congresses composed by the gathering which they asserted was not dependable.
