Even though the meeting was not announced and the agenda unknown, it was not unlikely they would have reviewed the performance of the party in the election and plot a way forward.
APC is currently battling to retain four of the six states where elections have been declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) having an edge in the hitherto ruling party’s strongholds.
The governors declined to offer any comments when approached by correspondents after the meeting.
