| Governor Uzodimma |
The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has unanimously passed a vote of confidence in its Chairman, Senator Hope Uzodimma, and Vice Chairman, Governor Uba Sani.
The endorsement emerged from a closed-door meeting in Abuja, then echoed publicly at a follow-up press conference.
Kebbi State Governor Dr. Nasir Idris moved the motion, with Kaduna State’s Governor Alhaji Uba Sani seconding it.
The reaffirmation came in response to a reporter’s question about rumors swirling over Uzodimma’s potential removal as PGF Chairman.
The forum also pledged strong support to ensure President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
Dr Idris explained that more than 23 governors in attendance at the Abuja meeting reiterated their confidence in Uzodimma to lead the forum.
According to him, the fact that Uzodimma presided over the meeting with his vice was enough evidence to authenticate his leadership.
While advising the media to be circumspect in the stories they publish, Dr Idris urged them to always confirm the sources and veracity of their information.
Also speaking, Uzodimma assured that the PGF was united and would not bother itself with fake news.
He told journalists that the APC governors were currently occupied on how best to work for the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"As you are aware, just two days ago,we accompanied His Excellency Vice Presiden Shettima to submit the nomination forms of President Tinubu signifying that he is re-contesting. We just had a meeting to reaffirm our unflinching support to him," he said.
Uzodimma said the forum has decided to support Tinubu 100% to achieve his reelection and therefore would not submit to any kind of distraction or blackmail.
According to him, their support for Tinubu was borne out of his pragmatic reforms, which had put Nigeria on the part of economic growth while strengthening her infrastructure.
He asked Nigerians to appreciate the president's sacrifices by ensuring his reelection so that he would complete the beautiful work he had started.
