Among those present at the meeting were Orji Kalu, senator-elect for Abia north, Ahmad Lawan, former senate president, Abdulaaziz Yari, former governor of Zamafara state and senate-elect, Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo state and Godswill Akpabio.

Others in attendance are APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

It is understood that the meeting was about the 10th national assembly leadership and zoning, to avoid the 2015 scenario that produced Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as the Senate President and Speaker respectively against the wish of the party leadership.
