All Progressives Congress (APC) governors under the platform of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) have dismissed claims that erstwhile National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu and Secretary, Iyiola Omisore, were forced to resign their positions in the party.
Speaking to newsmen at the Imo Governor’s Lodge, Abuja, the Forum chairman, Hope Uzodimma, said their resignations have brought peace to the ruling party.
He described the resignation as voluntary instead of the speculated pressure from governors, stressing that they deserved commendations, respect and recognition for the services they rendered to the party.
“We had a very successful meeting, I am sure you must have heard, which I am also aware some of you are anxious to know what is going on in our party and the country but we deliberated on so many issues that have to do with our party, the APC. You must have heard of the resignation of the National Chairman and the National Secretary of the party. Those are voluntary actions that have been taken and with due respect to our national chairman, our secretary.
“We commended the wisdom in what they have done and they served us well in the party. We are happy with the services and the party is united, there is no crisis in the party. They are happy; we also are happy.
“So, we are in support of their actions and they would continue to be commended, be respected and recognised for the services they have rendered to our great party. Their resignations have also been accepted by the leadership of the party. There is an acting chairman now and there is acting secretary.”
