PDP Governors Forum


The PDP Governors Forum or PDPGF is a political and policy think tank consisting of the state governors affiliated with the People's Democratic Party in Nigeria. The Forum was formed on 24 February 2013 when it split away from the Nigeria Governors Forum. The PDPGF aims to provide a platform for governors to interact and exchange knowledge, ideas and experiences about how to move the party forward as well as to better coordinate programmes and policies in their various states. The Forum is led by a Chairperson, currently Bala Mohammed. He took over in June 2023 from Aminu Waziri Tambuwal the previous chairman of the Forum.
