BoT Chairman, Walid Jibrin who addressed workers of the PDP on Wednesday said the Board is the only organ of the party not restrained by any court order.
Following the emergence of three factions of the party recently, the police had sealed off the secretariat in Abuja for nine days to forestall breakdown of law and order.
Responding to the development, Jibrin commended the Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase for a proactive measure in safeguarding the secretariat.
His words: “We the BoT have been asked under the Constitution of the party to be in charge of the assets and the liabilities of the PDP generally.
“It is in that respect that the Inspector General of Police, having considered the importance of our constitution and having considered the importance of the staff of the PDP headquarters here, that this place be open and entrusted in the hands of the BoT”.
He described the problem of the party as temporary, adding that the BoT has reached out to those involved in the crisis with the aim of resolving it.
Others at the meeting include the Secretary of the Board, Ojo Maduekwe, former Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Mantu, former Senate Majority Leader, Stella Omu, among others.
On his part, Maduekwe submitted that the Board decided to oversee the affairs of the party to prevent a vacuum in the face of conflicting court orders.
“We are giving members opportunity to withdraw all cases in court so that PDP can re-brand,” he stated.
