Part of a communiqué read by the chairman of the PGF, the governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, said: “The PGF acknowledged the resignation of the National Chairman of the APC, His Excellency Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, in tandem with the party’s continued evolution.
“The PGF reaffirmed its unshakable belief in a united, just, and prosperous Nigeria. It is committed to working collaboratively to deliver bold reforms, strengthen institutional trust, and accelerate socio-economic development across all geopolitical zones. The governors resolved to remain faithful stewards of the APC’s values, leveraging state-level innovation and intergovernmental collaboration to drive Nigeria’s transformation from the bottom up.”
On fiscal governance and security, the “PGF welcomed the increase in fiscal transfers to states and the emerging investor confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook. With multiple APC-led states now attracting significant domestic and foreign direct investment, the Forum acknowledges efforts to professionalize procurement processes, digital governance systems, and enhanced regulatory frameworks. The governors pledged to build on the momentum to deliver infrastructure that unlocks productivity and drives inter-state competitiveness.
“The Forum commends our security Agencies as well as the ongoing efforts in countering criminality and safeguarding national sovereignty. Governors reaffirmed their support for inter-agency coordination, community policing, and grassroots intelligence systems.”
The forum called on all Nigerians, both domestically and internationally, to support President Bola Tinubu and the APC as the country progresses towards a more safe, inclusive, and progressive future.
