Imo Governor’s Loyalists Pass Vote of Confidence
A leadership crisis has deepened within the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) as rival camps emerge among governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
NPO reports that this follows growing tensions over the control of the forum, with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma insisting he remains the duly recognised chairman of the PGF alongside Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani as vice chairman.
However, another bloc within the forum is reportedly emerging around Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
Meanwhile, governors backing Uzodimma on Friday passed a vote of confidence on him at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
A meeting was also convened to address rumors suggesting there was a planned change in the leadership of the forum.
Speaking after the meeting, members of the forum dismissed the claims and insisted that the leadership structure of the PGF remains unchanged.
According to the governors, more than 20 members attended the meeting physically, while others joined virtually through Zoom.
The governors said the forum remains united and committed to its objectives under the leadership of Uzodimma and Sani.
The PGF also reaffirmed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
The governors stated that the forum is intact, united, and stronger as members continue to work together in support of the ruling party and the Tinubu administration.
