APC govs divided over removal of Uzodimma as PGF Chairman

Eighteen governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) passed a vote of confidence in Hope Uzodimma as chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), dismissing reports of his replacement. PGF Director General Folorunsho Aluko denied that any such decision was made, stating that Uzodimma remains the chairman. Uzodimma subsequently summoned an emergency meeting of the governors to reaffirm their support.
