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 (NGF). 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 Ayodele Fayose. He took over in January 2017 from Olusegun Mimiko who had been the first chair of the Forum.
There are currently 12 PDP state governors:
Since the organization's inception in 2013, the positions of chair and deputy chair have been chosen by the Forum members from among their number. The following is a list of current and former PDPGF chairs.
