• Added to this, some APC bigwigs are claiming that they were never invited to participate in the meeting
• Such persons are Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state and Senator John Akpanudoudehe, the ruling party's spokesman

Although the All Progressives Congress (APC) scheduled governors' meeting was not held on Sunday, January 9, some chieftains of the ruling party have said that they did not get any invitation to the meeting.

One of those claiming this is Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state who spoke with New Telegraph on Monday, January 10.

Governor Akeredolu said:

“My brother I never had any invite for any PGF meeting. I also read about a meeting in the news. I am therefore not in a position to know the reason for cancellation.”
