PGF Reacts to Report on Removal of Imo Governor as Chairman

    Hope Uzodimma

The Progressive Governors Forum, PGF, has dismissed reports alleging the removal of Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, as Chairman of the forum, describing the claims as false and misleading.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Director-General of the forum, Mr. Folorunso Aluko, said no meeting was held where such a decision was taken, insisting that Governor Uzodimma remains the substantive chairman of the body.

“The attention of the Progressive Governors Forum has been drawn to a false and misleading report circulating in some media platforms alleging the removal of its Chairman, His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON,” the statement read.

The forum further stated that its secretariat had no record or knowledge of any resolution removing the Imo State governor from office.

“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 added.

The PGF maintained that it remains united and focused on its responsibilities, urging members of the public and the media to disregard the report.
