THE Director General of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), Comrade Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has resigned as the crisis over the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) deepens.
Media reports of Comrade Lukman’s resignation were on Monday awash on social media and online newspaper publications. Reports indicate that Lukman’s resignation followed a sharp division among the APC governors during their Sunday night meeting in Abuja.
According to the reports, Lukman submitted his letter of resignation to the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum and Kebbi State Governor, Senator Atiku Bagudu.
There were speculations that some APC governors at the meeting wanted Lukman to either resign or be sacked, hence his resignation even when there were indications that majority of the governors wanted him to maintain the position.
