THE Progressive Governors’ Forum has sacked its Director-General, Salihu Moh. Lukman, over alleged anti-party activities, TheNigerian News has learnt.
It was gathered that Lukman’s dismissal was part of the resolution of the All Progressives Congress governors after yesterday’s meeting.
This came after a pro-APC group, the Progressives Youth Council, last week issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the governors to sack Lukman.
Dr Lukman was accused of being a mole in the ruling party with a mission to undermine it and ultimately hand advantage to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023.
The APC-PYC said that Lukman, in recent times, sponsored a series of protests and media propaganda against Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).
The group also alleged that the PDP mobilised Lukman with the funds for this purpose while the DG collected money from some governors but failed to declare same at the last stakeholders meeting held in Abuja.
“The Director-General of Progressive Governors’ Forum, Dr Salihu Moh Lukman is the problem we have identified as being major among the challenges besetting the APC ahead of next year’s General Elections,” the group said.
But contrary to reports that the PGF DG resigned from office in the wake of the crisis which has trailed the February National Convention, TheNigerian News gathered that he was booted out.
