APC Governors Boast of Reform Achievements, Call Party the Most Organized

All Progressives Congress (APC) governors reflected deeply on the country’s socio-economic trajectory before reaffirming their unflinching commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

During a two-day strategic regional meeting in Benin City, the capital of Edo State, organized by Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor of Edo State, the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) reportedly declared that the APC is still Nigeria’s most institutionally coherent political platform, with unparalleled records of reform, electoral success, and national unity.
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, the PGF urged all Nigerians, domestically and internationally, to support Tinubu and the APC as the country progresses toward a more secure, inclusive, and dynamic future in a statement delivered to Governor Okpebholo by the Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua.

The Forum recognized that Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the party’s National Chairman, resigned in accordance with the party’s ongoing development.

In addition to reaffirming its strong commitment to a united, just, and prosperous Nigeria, the PGF promised to cooperate in order to implement radical reforms, bolster institutional trust, and quicken socioeconomic development in all geopolitical zones.

In order to propel Nigeria’s development from the ground up, governors decided to stick to APC principles while utilizing innovation, technology, and intergovernmental cooperation.

Greetings from Governor Eno
In a formal welcome to the ruling party, the PGF said that Umo Eno, the governor of Akwa Ibom, and his supporters’ choice to join the APC shows a growing national consensus on the transformative policies being carried out by President Tinubu’s administration.

President Tinubu and his team received congratulations from the PGF, which also praised the broad support for his programs in every State under the Forum’s leadership.

Tinubu’s Changes
A thorough evaluation of the country’s political, social, security, and economic developments was also completed by the Forum’s members.

In particular, the governors were pleased that budgetary reform, food security, energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and social sector revitalization were given priority. They also expressed pleasure with the enhanced coordination between federal and state authorities.

In accordance with constitutional federalism, they promised to stay in line with national goals.
In addition to expressing support for a strategy shift towards social fairness and inclusive prosperity, the Forum acknowledged the success of macroeconomic stabilization programs such the elimination of fuel subsidies, unification of currency rates, and debt rationalization.

Although economic data indicate that the economy is recovering, the governors emphasized that more investments in MSMEs, food security, job creation, poverty eradication, and social safety nets are necessary to further democratize growth.

Protection
Regarding security and national stability, the Forum praised security organizations and continuous initiatives to protect national sovereignty and combat crime.

The governors called for increased funding for surveillance infrastructure and frontline staff welfare, and they reiterated their support for grassroots intelligence systems, community policing, and interagency coordination.

In addition to expressing sympathy to families impacted by insecurity, especially in Benue and Niger states, the PGF praised recent efforts and trips to Benue State and reaffirmed its shared commitment to supporting the President’s national security architecture.

With a focus on the necessity of revitalized grassroots governance, the statement also emphasized the critical responsibilities that community structures and local government play in service delivery and democratic participation.

Following the press conference, Kano State’s esteemed national leader Aminu Dantata passed away, according to Governor Uzodimma. A minute of silence was called in his honor.
