They emphasized that the panel would not discriminate in its actions, recommending sanctions including suspensions or expulsions for any member found guilty, regardless of their status or influence.The focus of the probe will be on actions taken by members during the 2023 general elections. Acting State Chairman Robinson Nname-Ewor stated that they are committed to rebuilding the party, which he described as battered and disillusioned across the state, its 23 Local Government Areas, and 319 electoral wards. To achieve this, he outlined plans for a comprehensive sensitization tour across all LGAs and a membership drive to bolster the PDP's presence for future elections.

They also asserted that the Acting Executive, led by Nname-Ewor, must be recognized as the legitimate leadership following the court's dismissal of the previous executive.The committee emphasized that they are aware of the sensitivity surrounding their transition and have chosen to temporarily postpone their planned takeover of the PDP State Secretariat at 23 Aba Road to prevent potential unrest.
