The APC Progressive Governors Forum splits into factions after Governor Hope Uzodimma's reported removal ahead of 2027.

Split in the APC Progressive Governors Forum as Governor Hope Uzodimma faces removal

The Progressive Governors Forum, which brings together governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress, has fractured. A deep crack has appeared right down the middle of their ranks.

This major split came to light on Thursday following reports that the forum's chairman, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, had been removed from his position.

However, Uzodimma is not stepping aside quietly. He has firmly insisted that he remains the chairman of the PGF, creating a tense leadership standoff.

On the other side of the divide, a new faction has emerged. Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State are now leading this breakaway group.

Reports also indicate that another influential bloc within the forum has thrown its weight behind Abiodun and AbdulRazaq, further deepening the divide.

This development is a significant blow to the unity of the ruling party. It exposes a major crack among APC governors just as political realignments begin to take shape ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to reports by Arise TV, the exact details of the disagreement are still a bit murky. However, party insiders say this did not happen overnight.

Sources within the APC revealed that tensions have been building for a while. The core of the issue revolves around internal leadership control and strategic positioning ahead of the next election season.

For now, the public is still waiting for clear answers. As of the time of filing this report, Daily Post noted that neither faction has officially released a detailed statement explaining the exact cause of the division.

As it stands, the ruling party's governors are speaking with divided voices, and the political landscape just got a lot more complicated.
