The Chairman of Progressives Governors Forum and the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has said that under the administration of President Bola Tinubu, the direction is clearer, while the reform logic is stronger.
He added that the prospects for long-term growth and development are brighter.
The governor made this known on Friday in Abuja during the 8th National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Uzodinma emphasised that what leadership requires is not merely the ability to manage the present, but the wisdom to prepare the future, saying in this regard, Tinubu has shown statesmanship.
He noted: “We also acknowledge that the reforms are meaningful only when they touch lives. That is why the Progressive Governors Forum remains fully aligned with the Renewed Hope agenda and deeply committed to its social progress.
“Across our states, we shall continue to work in partnership with the federal government to advance policies and programmes that promote economic opportunity, strengthen social protection, expand infrastructure, improve security, support enterprise, empower young people and women, and restore confidence in public leadership.”
“We are united in the conviction that governance must ultimately answer to the hopes, dignity, and well-being of the people. This is therefore a moment for unity, not division; for discipline, not distraction; for service, not self-interest.”
Earlier, the National Convention Central Coordination Committee Chairman and former Governor of Katsina state, Hon. Aminu Masari said the convention was not a routine jugglery, but a solemn assembly, a historic moment, and a powerful reminder of the strength of the country’s democracy.
He noted that it was at the convention they would affirm their values, renew their commitments, and chart the path for our party and our country.
The former Speaker for the House of Representatives stressed that the APC was built on conviction, sustained by sacrifice, and strengthened by the loyalty of millions of Nigerians who believe in the promise of progress, justice, and unity.
Masari said: “APC has always strengthened our unity, and today, as we gather to elect our new leaders, we are reminded—we remind ourselves—that leadership is not about privilege; it is about service. It is not about titles; it is about trust. It is not about power; it is about unity.
