A communique is expected to be issued and shared to journalists at the end of the meeting.
Meanwhile, Dr Garus Gololo, a national chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has said those who want President Muhammad Buhari to address the nation over the attack on protesters at Lekki toll gate, Lagos, are hypocrites.
Gololo, at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, October 22 stated that the president had already addressed the aspiration of the protesting youth.
He said the best way to address a situation was to take action on a particular demand, which the president had done.
He advised the Nigerian youth, especially, the northerners to remain calm and law-abiding, adding that, it is only when the country is peaceful that they would enjoy the dividends of democracy they all laboured for.
Gololo had earlier condemned the call by Governor Samuel Ortom asking #EndSARS protesters to continue their nationwide procession.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, October 20, Gololo said, as the governor of a state that is terribly underdeveloped, what Ortom should concentrate on is the transformation of Benue.
In a related development, the leader of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Shettima Yerima, has called on Nigerians to disregard various fake news being attributed to him by unknown persons.
Yerima described as false and malicious, claims of war and other fabrications in circulation being attributed to him, urging Nigerians and friends of the country all over the world to disregard them in totality.
In a statement the AYCF president signed and sent to Legit.ng on Thursday, October 22, Yerima said he is the target of mischief aimed at discrediting his personality.
