The meeting comes against the backdrop of the heightened lobby of some governors to insist on the retention of the zoning arrangement earlier made by the party.
A source who was quoted on the development said the meeting would offer proper solutions to the lingering crisis APC, through its National Working Committee, had zoned the Senate President position to South South, Deputy Senate President (North West, Speaker to Deputy Speaker to South East.
The Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who also chairs the Southern Governors Forum, had expressed reservation for the zoning arrangement, adding that the decision was unworkable, skewed and reinforcing injustice and enhancing inequity.
The arrangement had since caused a strain in the party as aggrieved aspirants protested the decision, just as some party stakeholders insisted on retention of the zoning arrangement.
The national chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, however hinted last week that the zoning arrangement would be revisited.
