Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has been unanimously elected chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum.
He was elected on Wednesday in Abuja at a meeting that attracted all the APC Governors.
According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Oguwike Nwachuku, the choice of Uzodimma for the position was a source of pride to his APC Governor-Colleagues who attested to his capacity to lead them.
He said: “Governor Uzodimma’s latest responsibility came barely three days ago he was conferred with the honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger ( CON) by the former President, Muhammadu Buhari and another honour, last weekend, by the former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.”
Wike at a well-attended ceremony at the Banquet Hall of Rivers State in Port Harcourt conferred on Governor Uzodimma with the highest honour in Rivers State, the Grand Service Stars of Rivers State (GSSRS).
The GSSRS, according to Wike, is given to individuals who have demonstrated capacity in leadership and service to their people and society.
