The duo will be taking over from Gov Fayemi and RT Hon Tambuwal respectively.

Honoured to be the new Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. I look forward to working with the new Chairman, His Excellency AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the forum secretariat staff and all members of the forum as we strive for inclusive development at the subnational level and effective collaborations at the national level.

In appreciating this gesture, the NGF and Vice chairman have thanked their colleagues that voted for them.
