I Belong To The Abubakar Kawu Baraje- Led PDP - Amaechi Rivers State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said that he belongs to the faction of the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) led by Abubakar Kawu Baraje. Amaechi stated this during an interview with journalists in Port Harcourt shortly after arriving from Abuja on Monday. Answering questions on the pullout by some PDP governors and stakeholders at the recent PDP mini convention in Abuja and subsequent press briefing by the Atiku Abubakar-led PDP faction, Governor Amaechi said; “I am not the national chairman, the national chairman is Abubakar Kawu Baraje and he is the only person who is qualified to speak for now or the publicity secretary. All you know is that I belong to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) led by Abubakar Kawu Baraje and we are forging ahead because we need to make some changes.” On PDP’s electoral fortunes in 2015, the governor said; “Well, when we get to 2015 God will determine that. We can’t be discussing 2015 now. We will discuss 2015 when we get to 2015.” Asked to comment on the decision of Rivers statutory delegates to boycott Saturday’s mini PDP Convention, Amaechi said; “You know, the chairman of the party and the members of the National Assembly and House of Assembly took that decision, I wasn’t around, so I wouldn’t know what to say about that, but the most important thing is that we are on course.”
