The visit, which was conducted under the auspices of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), was led by the Forum’s Chairman and Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
Addressing Journalists shortly after the visit, Governor Uzodinma said that the delegation came in solidarity as members of the APC family to extend warm Sallah greetings to the former President, and to congratulate him on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.

He stressed that, “As a party, we remain united and committed to the ideals of good governance which he championed during his tenure.”
