PGF Dismisses Report of Uzodimma’s Removal as Chairman, Reaffirms Unity Among APC Governors

The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has firmly denied reports claiming that Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has been removed as its chairman, describing the claims as false and misleading.

The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director General of the forum, Folorunso Aluko, who insisted that no such decision was ever taken at any official meeting.

According to the PGF, the report circulating in sections of the media is entirely fabricated and does not reflect any known resolution or discussion within the forum.

The organisation stressed that its Secretariat has no record of any meeting where the leadership position was reviewed, contested, or altered in any form.

It maintained that Governor Uzodimma remains the duly recognised chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and continues to enjoy the confidence of governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The forum also emphasised that it remains united and focused on its collective responsibilities, urging the public and media outlets to disregard the report completely.

The statement further reinforced that the PGF continues to operate under a stable leadership structure and remains committed to its coordination role among APC governors nationwide.
