PGF Dismisses Claims of Uzodimma’s Ouster as Chairman

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

The forum described the reports circulating on some media platforms as false, insisting that no decision was taken to remove the governor from office.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Director-General of the PGF, Folorunso Aluko, said the claim was misleading and lacked any basis.

According to the statement, the attention of the forum was drawn to reports alleging that Uzodimma had been sacked as chairman, but the PGF maintained that no such meeting or resolution ever took place.

The forum stressed that the reports were entirely unfounded and should be disregarded by the public.

It further stated that the PGF secretariat had no record of any resolution removing the Imo governor from his position, adding that Uzodimma remains the substantive chairman of the body.

The forum also reaffirmed its unity and commitment to its responsibilities, urging the media and members of the public not to give credence to the report.
