Lukman, who was rumoured to have tendered his resignation on Monday, confirmed this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.
PGF Chairman and Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu gave the assurance while speaking with journalists at the end of a closed door meeting Sunday night in Abuja.
Sadly, the statement, like previous ones from the CECPC, didn’t announce any date and venue for the National Convention.
The major gap, however, is that no date or details of Committees, their membership and terms of reference were given.
The DG of the umbrella body of Governors elected on the platform of the APC spoke in an article on Sunday morning.

This was one of the contentions of the director-general of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Salihu Moh. Lukman, in an opinion piece he entitled ‘Nigerian Politics and Question of National Unity’
This it said would enable governors of APC-controlled states to facilitate synergy of initiatives and proactive responses.
Speaking to journalists after the Progressives Governors’ Forum meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday, chairman of the forum and Kebbi State Governor, Senator Atiku Bagudu, appreciated the success recorded by the Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC), despite the constraints occasioned by limited resources.
Apparently miffed by PDP’s reaction to President Buhari’s well publicized interview on Arise Television, Lukman says it is a ‘patently political fact’ that the opposition party is efficient only at mismanaging public resources; and that without any attempt to reform itself, its leaders want to take advantage of the challenges facing Nigerians to win elections.
Gov. Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi state and Chairman of the forum said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
The PGF, publishers of the Progressive Strides magazine, is the amalgam of governors elected under the ruling APC.
He gave the charge in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
