The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commended his counterparts in the party for their commitment to national development.
Sanwo-Olu spoke on Saturday at the end of a two-day meeting of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) in Lagos.
He described their deliberations as reaffirmation of loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The governor said: “I want to sincerely thank my colleagues for staying through more than 12 hours of rigorous discussions.
“It is never easy, but you all showed exceptional commitment to the progress of our nation.”
He praised the unity displayed by the governors, saying their solidarity and cultural representation sent a strong signal of harmony.
“You came prepared, you represented your states beautifully, and Lagos is proud to host you.
“People back home will ask you for this cultural experience because you truly showed what unity in diversity means,” he stated.

“This year, about 10,000 of our people will proudly wear the festival uniform.
“We are excited to revive this tradition and celebrate our culture in a grand way,” the governor added.
He commended the governors for dedication to improving the welfare of Nigerians.
“For the past 12 hours, we have asked ourselves tough questions: How do we better the lives of our people?
” How do we support our president and strengthen our country by supporting national agenda?
“We have committed ourselves to supporting Mr. President and ensuring his government succeeds and succeeds very well.
“We are now 25 progressive governors.
