The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, passed a vote of confidence on its National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu to remain as chairman.
The party held its NEC meeting in Abuja on Thursday to address issues in the party.
The 397 members of the NEC present at the meeting voted in support of Ayu to continue as the chairman of the party.
The raging crisis is almost tearing things apart in the party, which might affect its chances ahead of the 2023 presidency.

Earlier The Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party, Senator Walid Jibrin, resigned his position over the crisis rocking the party.
He said at a BoT and National Executive Committee meeting on Thursday in Abuja.
I am stepping down as the chairman of BoT. I am stepping down to make it easier for all of us.
Jibrin has held the position for six years after taking over from Haliru Bello who was removed in 2016.
However, he tendered his resignation after some members of the PDP national working committee (NWC) met in Abuja on Tuesday and resolved not to attend any meeting presided over by Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman, henceforth.
Wike and others have complained bitterly that PDP is fast becoming a northern party as all key positions were held by members from the zone.
