In a significant development within the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has been elected as the new chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
The PGF is an influential body comprising governors who were elected under the APC banner.
Assuming the role after the completion of Atiku Bagudu’s tenure as governor of Kebbi State, Uzodinma expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him by his fellow governors. Alongside him, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State was chosen as the deputy chairman of the forum.
The election of Uzodinma and Sani as chairman and deputy chairman, respectively, was conducted through a consensus reached during a meeting between Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the APC, and members of the party’s national working committee (NWC).
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, speaking on behalf of the party, announced the unanimous decision.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Uzodinma emphasized his commitment to the APC and his vision for the party’s future. He confidently declared that the APC would stand out as the leading political party in Nigeria, surpassing all others.
“APC is the only party we have got in Nigeria,” the Imo governor said.
“The governors of APC seem to be the most active governors in Nigeria. So, my assurance is that we are just constructive partners to work with the party and our loyalty to the party is absolute.
“And indeed, the party will become the envy of other parties in Africa. Whatever that we did not get before, I’m sure under my leadership, the party will get it.
“It is going to be a synergy. We can’t do much without you and conversely, I don’t think you can do much without us. So we are married in this business and there is no going back.”
As the newly elected chairman of the PGF, Governor Uzodinma assumes a pivotal role in steering the APC toward continued success and expansion.
With his determination and the collective efforts of the APC governors, the party is poised to set a new standard for political excellence in Nigeria and beyond.
