Nigeria's Progressive Governors Forum has split into rival camps. The fracture widened after Governor Hope Uzodimma was reportedly removed as chairman on Thursday.
Uzodimma insists he still leads the forum. But Ogun's Dapo Abiodun and Kwara's AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq are commanding a competing faction.
A third bloc has also aligned with Abiodun and AbdulRazaq. Sources say the split reflects growing tensions over leadership control within the APC.
Party insiders told Arise TV that disagreements centre on strategic positioning before 2027 elections. The rift exposes cracks in the ruling party's unity at a critical time.
None of the factions has issued an official statement explaining the division. Details about what triggered the split remain murky as of Thursday evening.
The breakup comes as the APC navigates internal realignments ahead of Nigeria's next general election. Analysts say the schism signals deeper power struggles within the governors' camp.
