PGF debunks reports of Uzodimma’s removal as chairman

The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has dismissed reports alleging that the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, was removed as chairman of the forum.

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

According to the statement, no meeting was held where such a decision was taken, insisting that Uzodimma remains the 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 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 Uzodimma continues to serve as chairman of the forum and reaffirmed its unity and commitment to its responsibilities.

It also urged members of the public and the media to disregard the reports of his alleged removal.
