PGF denies sack of Uzodimma as chairman
The Progressive Governors Forum, an umbrella body for Governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked circulating reports on the sack of its chairman, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the Executive Governor of Imo State.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the director general of the body.
The statement described the rumour as false and misleading, noting that the report bears no semblance of truth.
“The attention of the Progressive Governors Forum has been drawn to a false and misleading report circulating on 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 read.
It further noted that no resolution whatsoever was reached by the body to warrant the removal of its chairman.
“No meeting of the forum was held at which such decision was taken. The PGF secretariat has no record of, and is not aware of, any resolution, removing its Chairman. His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, remains the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum.
“The Forum remains united , focused and committed to its responsibilities. Members of the public, party faithful and the media are therefore advised to disregard the said report in its entirety,” the statement concluded.
