Gov. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, has said the suspension slammed on the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, by the national leadership of the ruling party would soon be resolved.
The forum through its chairman Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio said it would only do so if Amaechi, whose re-election as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, is still being contested by some of his colleagues, withdraws the suit he instituted against the party challenging his suspension.
Akpabio said that it is exploring out of court options to effect the lifting of the suspension on the Rivers Governor.
Gov. Amaechi was suspended last month by the National Leadership of the ruling party over the crisis in the Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers and also for defying the party and re-contesting the NGF top seat against Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State.
Mr. Akpabio said the PDPGF is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that all outstanding issues are not only resolved, but also bring back all its members, including the Rivers State Governor to its fold.
According to him, \u201cThe reconciliation among the governors is already ongoing. If you noticed yesterday (PDP NEC meeting), we have almost all the governors of the PDP there. You saw almost every governor was there; even the recently recalled governor of Sokoto state attended the meeting.
“Almost all the PDP governors were there. If there was any PDP governor that wasn\u2019t there yesterday, he was probably on official duty for the Federal Government and for the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that the Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam is a member of the NIPP Committee, running around, looking for investors in the power sector and I think they travelled to Hong Kong. So, he wasn\u2019t there and I think his deputy was there too. So, you can see that peace is gradually returning to the fold of the entire PDP and I assure that all issues will be resolved.\u201d
\u201cA pressman asked me the other day that, yes, you have recalled the governor of Sokoto State through the national working committee, what about the governor of Rivers State and I pointed out that the governor of Sokoto State didn\u2019t go to court and that the other matter, regarding my brother, the governor of Rivers State is in court and was therefore subjudice.
\u201cBut we are exploring all means to ensure out of Court settlement and to bring back everybody to the fold. It is important to note that we are very determined, the PDPGF to bring back our brothers together,\u201d he said.
The Akwa Ibom State governor said the PDPGF would ensure that the number of governors on the platform of the party is increased in 2015, adding that it would work assiduously to win the elections in Osun and Ekiti States next year.<\/p>\n
