Jibrin has held the position for six years after taking over from Haliru Bello who was removed in 2016.
With his resignation, it is believed that the new BoT chairman of the party will be from the South.
Recently, there have been protests about the regional lopsidedness in the party.
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the party, is from Adamawa (north-east); Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the party, is from Benue (north-central); and Jibrin hails from Nasarawa (north-central).
