The convention will take place from June 6 to June 8.
The meeting was attended by Abdullahi Adamu, the APC national chairman; Boss Mustapha, the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF); and the president’s chief of staff, Ibrahim Gambari.
After the meeting, neither the APC national chairman nor the governors spoke with journalists.
The APC commenced the screening of presidential hopefuls on Thursday.
