The Progressive Governors Forum, PGF, which comprises governors serving under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, held a meeting last night in Abuja to reposition the party and fine-tune strategies with which to win the forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states.
The meeting, which began around 9:13pm at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja and ended at about 12:26am on Friday, had 14 state governors and two deputy governors as well as the party’s national Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in attendance.
Chairman of the PGF, Rochas Okorocha who addressed newsmen at the end of the meeting, stated that members discussed a wide range of issues, including the National Assembly crisis and the forth coming governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi States.
According to him, “We are also very happy about the development in the House of Representatives, as peace is gradually returning to the National Assembly.
“We are very happy that what has taken place in the Federal House, will soon take place in the Senate and we are resolved to make our party bigger and better than what it is now. So, we welcome interested parties to join us in building the Nigeria of our dreams.”
Okorocha said, “Peace will return. We hope that very soon, we will see total peace as we saw in the House.”
He also expressed confidence that all other issues, including the alleged marginalisation of the South East in the distribution of offices, will be taken care of in the course of the peace process.
