Barely four days to the National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari is set to meet with some governors to harmonise consensus list of national officers to reduce friction at the convention.

• Screening of aspirants begins todayThe meeting is said to be fallout of members of the party shunning the micro zoning model adopted for proper workability of the party.

The Guardian gathered that Imo State governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, is among the state governors invited to the meeting, ostensibly to bring them to be on one page regarding the allotment of positions zoned to their regions. This is as the chairman of media committee, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nassarawa State, said there is no iota of truth in the story making the rounds that they are at war among themselves over the sharing of party seats ahead of convention. He insisted that his colleagues have resolved their differences and have put behind them, all the bickering witnessed in the recent weeks.

When contacted, Eneukwu confirmed that he has already been screened for the position, stressing that what is happening in APC should be seen as rebuilding process. The former President of Senate, Nnamani, who is also a member of CECPC, did not pick his call nor reply to a short message, when The Guardian sought his opinion on events, seeking clarifications on his interest in the contested position.

Equally, in defiance of governors’ position, on how to share the positions of national secretary, national vice chairman and national youth leader zoned to Southwest, some aggrieved stakeholders in Oyo State are bent on contesting the post of National Secretary against Senator Iyiola Omisore, who is said to be the governors’ preference.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State must have been propelled on the development to settle for Mr Isaac Kekemeke, a former state chairman of Ondo APC as candidate for the national vice chairman to represent Ondo, while he teams up with other governors of the region to resist Oyedele, who is alleged to be Buhari’s choice in the Southwest.
