The governors were Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, who is the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun).
Recalled that the APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Sen. Abubakar Kyari, on Monday, July 17, 2023, took over the control of the ruling party as acting national chairman.
The development followed the forced resignation of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the APC National Chairman.
The party’s national secretary, Iyiola Omisore, a former deputy governor of Osun State, also resigned from his position.
