APC governors meet behind closed doors

Governors of the All Progressives Congress APC had a meet in Abuja to deliberate on the way forward for the party, especially with regards to its planned national convention.

The meeting which started around 8pm on Sunday night took place behind closed doors at the Kebbi state Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro with about 17 governors on seat. Although the agenda for the meeting was kept mum at the time of filing this report, information states that the focus was on zoning of party offices ahead of the national convention.

The party is currently divided on the issue of the convention as some stakeholders want it held before Christmas while others are pushing for the second quarter of next year.

Those in attendance included the host and Kebbi governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, his counterparts from Kogi, Nasarawa, Katsina, Plateau, Ekiti, Jigawa, Kano, Kwara, Imo, Borno, Ebonyi, Lagos, Zamfara, Niger, Ogun and Cross River. The governors of Osun, Yobe, Gombe and Kaduna States were still being expected to join at the time the report was retrieved.
