The Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) has promised that the party’s national convention to elect new leaders will hold in February.
The Chairman, Atiku Bagudu addressed journalists after a meeting of the body in Abuja, Sunday night.
The Yobe Governor said the February timeframe as approved by President Muhammadu Buhari was sacrosanct and would be respected.
He added that APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) was in the best position to announce the specific date.
“We are one group of stakeholders and our party respects institutions. The appropriate organ of the party that will announce a date for the national convention is the CECPC”, he said.
We discussed our upcoming convention which I had the cause to address the press after visiting President Buhari in November 2021. He and the party agreed that the convention would take place in February.
“We took inputs about the reviews and we noted all the misrepresentations in the press that we seek to correct that the PGF is one united body as you can see evidently from the attendance,” Bagudu said.
