The Director General, Progressive Governors Forum, PGF Salihu Lukman has confirmed his resignation from the position, noting that it is in the best interest of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Lukman, who was rumoured to have tendered his resignation on Monday, confirmed this in a statement in Abuja.
The former PGF Director General explained that he resigned to enable him continue his campaign to return the APC to its founding vision, adding that his resignation will not affect the campaign.
Lukman said he had however privately confirmed his resignation to party leaders, friends and family members who called him to enquire, noting that since the buildup to 2019 general elections, internal contest in the APC began to degenerate as some of its leaders became intolerant.
He added that every campaign to get the party’s leadership to commence the process of internal reform was resisted.
Lukman noted that as some party leaders in the bid to emerge as its candidates for offices, became hostile while party campaigns drifted to almost war situations in many instances.
