…Dismisses Uzodimma Removal Claims

The Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) have dismissed reports alleging that Hope Uzodimma was removed as the Chairman of the forum.

The Director-General of the forum, Folorunso Aluko, in a statement issued on Thursday, described the purported report circulating on some media platforms as false and misleading.

The forum maintained that no meeting was convened where such a decision was taken and insisted that Uzodimma remains the substantive chairman.

“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.

“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 partly read.

According to the PGF, its secretariat has no record of any resolution seeking the removal of the Imo State governor from office.

“The PGF secretariat has no record of, and is not aware of, any resolution removing the Chairman. His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, remains the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum,” it stated.

The forum further stressed that it remains united and focused on its objectives, urging the public and media organisations to disregard the reports.
