Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has reportedly emerged as the new Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum known as Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
He replaced Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State.
Sources disclosed that the decision to drop Uzodimma was reached during an extraordinary meeting of governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), held on Thursday night in Abuja.
The development came just hours after Governor Uzodimma spoke on behalf of APC governors during the submission of the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja.
According to insiders, about 20 APC governors attended the closed-door meeting, including governors from Ogun, Bayelsa, and Enugu states.
Governor Mbah’s emergence is seen as a significant political development within the ruling party, especially ahead of ongoing consultations and strategic alignments within the APC.
Although, official details surrounding the leadership change were still sketchy as of press time.
However, party sources, said the decision was part of efforts to reposition the forum and strengthen inter-state collaboration among APC governors. (vitalnewsngr.com)
