Salihu Lukman, director-general of the Progressive Governors
Forum (PGF), has resigned from his position.
His resignation is coming on the heels of the controversy
surrounding the planned convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Some of the governors of the ruling party had called for his
resignation during a meeting at the federal capital territory (FCT) on Sunday
night.
After the meeting, Atiku Bagudu, Jigawa governor, told reporters
that the party’s convention would be held in February.
Bagudu said the national caretaker committee of the party
led by Mai Mala Buni, Yobe governor, is the appropriate organ to announce the
date for the convention.
“We are one group of stakeholders in the party and our party
respects institutions,” he said.
“The appropriate organ of the party that will announce a
date for the national convention is the CECPC.
“We discussed our
upcoming convention which you may recall I had cause to address the press after
we visited President Buhari in November 2021 where the president and the party
agreed that the convention would take place in February.”
Lukman has insisted that the Buni-led panel must not stay
beyond February.
