Resolution of APC governor on CBN's naira redesign policy
During their meeting with Adamu on Sunday, the APC governors, under the umbrella of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), made it clear that they are all on the same page concerning the cash crunch.
Speaking on this position, the PGF's chairman, Governor Bagudu said all the parties at the meeting endorsed the resolution.
His words:
“We are on the same page. The APC Governors Forum, the NWC is one party. We are all together."

“The chairman (Abdullahi Adamu) said the Governors and the party are the same and I am very proud about the conduct of our campaigns by our presidential candidate under the able leadership of our party led by Abdullahi Adamu and the DG of the Campaign Council and the governors alongside all our APC candidates across the country who have been doing a tremendous job of mobilizing Nigerians.”
