News Investigators/ The governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah has emerged as the new Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), succeeding his Imo State counterpart, Hope Uzodimma.
He emergence, according to sources, followed a decision reached during an extraordinary meeting of governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), held on Thursday night in Abuja.
The development came just hours after Mr. Uzodimma spoke on behalf of APC governors during the submission of the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja.
