The party in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja today said the change of guard was to enable the National Chairman of the party Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere proceed on medical leave due to what it described as his reoccurring Voice infection contracted during his recent Police detention.

Nnadi who was until now the deputy national chairman of the party is expected to oversee the affairs of the party pending when the substantive national chairman will be certified medically fit to resume duties, a process that is line with the Party Constitution in such circumstances.
