The Progressive Governors' Forum (PGF), comprising governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has passed a vote of confidence in its chairman, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State. This move effectively dismisses recent reports suggesting a potential leadership change within the forum.
Speaking to journalists after a closed-door meeting on May 8, 2026, the governors expressed unanimous support for Uzodimma's leadership. The meeting, held in Abuja, was attended by several APC governors who reaffirmed their commitment to the forum's current structure.
Governor Uzodimma, who has chaired the PGF since 2023, thanked his colleagues for their confidence. The forum's decision comes amid speculation about internal disagreements, which the governors have now publicly refuted.
