Most of the serving governors on the platform of the party however failed to turn up at the meeting as only Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom and Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe attended.
Most of the newly elected governors were at the meeting.
There were fears that the elected governors who were disenchanted with the performance of the party in the last general elections might call for the overhauling of the leadership of the party with a view to reviving it.
The meeting which held for hours at the Wadata plaza, however failed to raise the issue and decided that the party should be having such meetings to review the state of the party.
In the communiqué read at the end of the meeting by former minister, George Sekibo, the party leaders frowned at what they called the unprecedented level of intimidation, harassment and undue persecution of the party members since the March 28 elections.
 The meeting called on INEC to be forthright and impartial in the handling of the various elections pending in Abia, Imo and Taraba states and frowned at the attitude of APC lawmakers in Ekiti State towards effecting a change in government while warning against using tribunals to truncate people’s mandates.
Sekibo said, “The meeting expressed deep concerns at the plans by the APC to make the country a one-party state using crude, underhand, undemocratic practice and thus reverse the gains of the PDP-led administration.”
