APC Governors Forum Faces Split Ahead of 2027 Elections

A division has surfaced within the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum, with Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma leading rival factions. Reports indicate that a bloc within the forum is aligning behind Abiodun, while another faction is reportedly led by the Kwara State Governor.

Tensions are escalating as the governors strategize for the upcoming 2027 elections. The leadership struggle was reportedly triggered by internal political calculations, with some sources claiming that the Enugu State Governor is set to replace Uzodinma as chairman of the Progress Governors Forum (PGF).

However, a statement released by the PGF's Director General refuted these claims, asserting that no meeting had occurred to discuss Uzodinma's removal and that the reports circulating online were false. The situation remains fluid as the APC navigates its internal dynamics amidst uncertainty.
