Details of the meeting, which was held at the Government House, Osogbo from Wednesday night until around 2.30am on Thursday was not disclosed to journalists who kept vigil at the venue of the meeting.
However, the National Deputy Chairman of the APC in the South, Mr. Segun Oni, who briefed journalists after the meeting said the leaders of the party were ready for the election.
He said the APC would prevent the PDP from repeating what they did in Ekiti State.
Asked what the party was doing to save the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, from being removed from office, Oni said the party would make known its position on it very soon.
Some of the governors who were present at the meeting included, Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos State, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, and the host governor, Aregbesola.
Others included, Osun State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori; Senator Chris Ngige, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Alhaji Kawu Baraje.
Oni said, ” What happened in Ekiti was a new dimension to election rigging. We will not allow that to happen here.
“Ekiti election is a new dimension to election rigging in Nigeria, but we as a party will challenge the outcome. We have seen and studied the election’s outcome and for posterity sake we know the election is not the will of the people.
“APC is going to defend the constitution of Nigeria and we shall start that with the election in Ekiti State. We won’t allow the election in Osun State to go the way of Ekiti.
