The All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors under the auspices of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), on Monday, April 7, 2025, visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna.

The APC governors stated that the party has been growing stronger as the largest political party in Nigeria, insisting that it would remain stable and stronger even ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with Buhari, the PGF Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, said the governors’ visit signified a show of unity and strength in the APC.
