Governors elected under the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday held a closed-door meeting in Abuja.
The meeting, which is currently ongoing, is taking place at the lodge of the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
Uzodimma, chairman of the All Progressive Governors Forum, convened his colleagues ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee meeting of the forum scheduled to hold on Thursday at the Presidential Villa.
Early arrivals at the meeting include Governors Babagana Zulum (Borno), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti) and Monday Okpebholo (Edo).
Others present are Bassey Otu (Cross River), Nasir Idris (Kebbi), Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), Usman Ododo (Kogi) and Senator Uba Sani (Kaduna).
Although the agenda of the meeting has yet to be disclosed, it may not be unconnected with the selection of a new national chairman for the party.
Former APC chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, stepped down from the position in June, citing the need to take a break from active politics to address personal health issues. His exit has created a significant vacuum that could affect the party’s organisation and preparedness for upcoming by-elections, including gubernatorial polls in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun states.
