The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, had after the meeting told newsmen:
“We discussed issues affecting the nation and the impact of the current wave of agitations across the country.We decided to strengthen the party. We decided that the kind of verbiage and incendiary statements by different groups were not good for the health of the nation and we decided that it had to stop
