Twenty-three governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday concluded a two-day strategic meeting where they supported the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, saying it was part of the party’s evolution.
The governors, while noting that there is a renewed coordination between federal and state institutions, particularly the prioritisation of fiscal reform, food security, energy transition, infrastructural modernisation, and social sector revitalisation, called for investment in surveillance infrastructure and improved welfare of security agencies’ personnel in the frontline.

“The PGF reaffirmed its unshakable belief in a united, just, and prosperous Nigeria. It is committed to working collaboratively to deliver bold reforms, strengthen institutional trust, and accelerate socio-economic development across all geopolitical zones. The governors resolved to remain faithful stewards of the APC’s values, leveraging state-level innovation and intergovernmental collaboration to drive Nigeria’s transformation from the bottom up.”
On fiscal governance and security, the “PGF welcomed the increase in fiscal transfers to states and the emerging investor confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook. With multiple APC-led states now attracting significant domestic and foreign direct investment, the Forum acknowledges efforts to professionalize procurement processes, digital governance systems, and enhanced regulatory frameworks. The governors pledged to build on the momentum to deliver infrastructure that unlocks productivity and drives inter-state competitiveness.
“The Forum commends our security Agencies as well as the ongoing efforts in countering criminality and safeguarding national sovereignty. Governors reaffirmed their support for inter-agency coordination, community policing, and grassroots intelligence systems.”
The forum observed a need for greater investment in surveillance infrastructure and the welfare of frontline personnel. It expressed condolences to families affected by insecurity, particularly the people of Benue and Niger States and reaffirmed its collective resolve to support the President’s national security architecture, especially his action in Benue.
A comprehensive appraisal of the nation’s economic, social, security, and political trajectory was undertaken by members of the Forum.
The forum encouraged all Nigerians, both home and abroad, to rally behind President Bola Tinubu and the APC as the nation moves towards a more secure, inclusive, and forward-looking future.
A significant highlight of the meeting was the formal welcome of the governors of Akwa Ibom and Delta States, Pastor Umo Eno and Sheriff Oborevwori, respectively.
