The New PDP faction led by Abubakar Baraje launched a new secretariate today, 12 Sept., 2013 in Port Harcourt. The secretariate located at #38, Old GRA was commissioned by the Chief of Staff to the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
However, members of the Rivers state Command of the Nigeria Police Force stormed the venue of the event as the occassion was beginning to cause some sort of upheaval. They ordered the organizers to remove the already hoisted flag of the party in the venue. It is reported that PDP members from Rivers had thronged the site and tried to stop the event before the police intervention team arrived the venue to forestall total breakdown of law and order.
