The Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Mr. Folorunso Aluko, has disclosed that six more governors are expected to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the end of 2027, which would increase the party’s control from 24 to at least 30 states across the federation.
Aluko made the remark on Thursday during the PGF Quarterly Strategy Meeting of Information Commissioners from APC-led states, held in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
He said the meeting served as a coordination hub for the communication systems of APC-controlled states and was aimed at strengthening strategic alignment and messaging ahead of the next electoral cycle.
“It is the nerve centre of coordination for Nigeria’s subnational communication system. We are reviewing progress. We are strengthening our strategic posture and aligning every message with measurable impact,” Aluko said.
He expressed optimism about the ruling party’s outlook, stating that the APC remained firmly positioned to achieve its political goals.
“As we look towards 2027, our conviction remains firm. The APC will grow stronger. Our states will increase in number and our people will prosper.
“By the grace of God and the will of Nigerians, we are confident that the PGF will rise from today’s 24 states to at least 30 states before the end of 2027,” he said.
Aluko described governance as a continuous process, stressing the importance of unity and coordination between federal and state governments.
“Governance is a relay and not an ordinary race. Each of us holds a baton in the long journey of nation building,” he stated.
He urged the Information Commissioners to maintain a unified communication approach and to align state policies with the broader federal vision.
“As we celebrate here in Maiduguri, let us reaffirm our shared resolve to align state action with federal vision, to speak with one voice, to act with integrity and to serve with renewed hope,” Aluko added.
