APC govs elect Bagudu as forum’s chairman

The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), comprising of all state governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has elected the Kebbi state governor Atiku Bagudu as its chairman.

The forum, in a statement signed Friday in Abuja by its director general, Salihu Moh. Lukman, said the governors unanimously elected the Kebbi governor to replace the outgoing governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha.

The statement said the election of governor Bagudu is in furtherance of the commitment of the Progressive Governors to deepen democratic governance in the country. 

“HE Bagudu will provide leadership to PGF to realise the collective vision of the Progressive Governors to build a strong, democratic and inclusive APC. 

“Considering all the internal political challenges facing the APC, the PGF under HE Bagudu’s leadership pledges to mobilise all party members and by extension Nigerians towards expanding and deepening democratic structures of the party by focusing on initiatives to guarantee the development of participatory governance structures as well as the guarantee of transparent, credible decision making process within the APC.”

The forum urged Nigerians to support the initiatives of “our Progressive Governors under the leadership of HE Atiku Bagudu; Nigeria will be great again.”
