Consultations are ongoing to select a new National Chairman for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), confirmed this to journalists after a closed-door meeting with APC governors in Abuja.
The selection followed the resignation of the former Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.
Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano State, resigned from his position as APC National Chairman on June 27, citing health concerns.
He was elected as the sixth national Chairman of the party on Aug. 3, 2023.
Since Ganduje’s departure, Ali Dalori has been serving in an acting capacity as National Chairman.
Uzodimma explained that the process to appoint a substantive replacement would be guided by the APC Constitution and would ultimately be decided by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
He noted that the governors’ meeting was part of preparations for the upcoming NEC meeting of the APC.
He added that the governors also planned to meet with the President ahead of the NEC session.
Uzodimma expressed satisfaction with the reforms initiated by the President, noting that the party is focused on ensuring that the benefits of those reforms reach ordinary Nigerians.
