The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), a forum of All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed reports alleging that Hope Uzodimma was removed as chairman of the forum, describing the claims as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the forum’s Director General, Folorunso Aluko, said there was no meeting or resolution where such a decision was taken.
According to the statement, the forum’s attention had been drawn to media reports claiming that Uzodimma had been ousted from his position as chairman, but the PGF insisted that the reports lacked any basis.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Progressive Governors Forum states categorically that the report is entirely false, baseless, and without an iota of truth,” the statement said.
The forum maintained that its secretariat had no record of any action removing the Imo State governor from office and reaffirmed that Uzodimma remains the substantive chairman of the body.
It further stressed that the forum remains united and focused on its mandate, while urging members of the public and the media to disregard the reports.
