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.
