Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has emerged as the new chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), marking a significant leadership transition within the influential bloc of governors.
Mbah succeeds Hope Uzodimma, who previously led the forum and played a central role in coordinating political strategy among governors aligned with the ruling establishment.
The appointment is expected to strengthen Mbah’s profile on the national political stage, as the PGF remains a key power centre in shaping policy direction, party coordination and electoral strategy ahead of future political contests.
Political observers say the leadership change comes at a critical moment for Nigeria’s governing camp, with attention already shifting toward alliance-building and succession calculations ahead of the 2027 elections.
