Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have resolved to intensify efforts to address challenges confronting Nigeria’s democratic space while stepping up preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The resolution was reached at a meeting of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), chaired by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, which ended in the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Uzodimma said the governors reaffirmed their commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerians and strengthening democratic governance across the country.
“We have resolved to work towards solving the problems and challenges facing our democratic space and ensuring that our people are better off,” he said.
The PGF chairman disclosed that the governors also reviewed the outcome of the APC’s recent primary elections nationwide, the party’s victory in the Ekiti State governorship election, and several by-elections in which the ruling party recorded what he described as impressive successes.
According to him, the forum further resolved to engage the party’s national leadership to begin strategic planning for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.
“We also resolved to meet with the leadership of the party to plan the coming 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections. We are ready and good to go,” Uzodimma added.
He said the governors reaffirmed their commitment to working closely with the APC leadership to strengthen the party and position it for future electoral victories.
The meeting was attended by APC governors from Ekiti, Zamfara, Taraba, Lagos, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe, Kebbi, Akwa Ibom and Borno states, among others.
