Rival factions have emerged within the PGF as Uzodimma insists he remains chairman while Governors Abiodun and AbdulRazaq lead a separate faction.
A major leadership crisis has hit the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) following the emergence of rival factions within the influential body of All Progressives Congress (APC) governors.
Imo State Governor and Chairman of the forum, Hope Uzodimma, has insisted that he remains in charge of the PGF alongside his deputy, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.
However, another bloc within the forum has reportedly aligned behind Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who are now leading a separate faction.
The development marks a significant crack within the ranks of APC governors ahead of the 2027 general election cycle and comes amid growing political realignments within the ruling party.
Details surrounding the disagreement remain unclear, but sources within the party said tensions had been building over internal leadership control and strategic positioning ahead of the next election season.
The split is expected to trigger fresh political calculations within the APC, especially as governors remain critical power brokers in the party’s national structure.
Neither faction has officially released a detailed statement explaining the cause of the division as of press time.
