Governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have committed to delivering honest and transparent national executives of the party in the forthcoming national convention.

He said the Progressive Governors appreciate the need to work together with other stakeholders towards the forthcoming national convention of the party, to ensure that they deliver a transparently honest national executive that will earn the confidence of all the party members.
