He said the parley was part of moves to unite members ahead of 2021 governorship election.
Meanwhile, a political movement named BAT 23 has been launched in Abuja to mobilise support for Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling APC.
Though he has not officially declared his interest, there have been repeated speculations that the former Lagos governor is eyeing the number one seat in the country on the platform of the APC.
The new political movement's national coordinator, Umar Inusa, said the group consisted of Tinubu’s supporters who were drawn from across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In another report, a group identified as South-East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has called on former Lagos state governor, Tinubu, to jettison his rumoured plan to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Leaders of the group urged Tinubu to support the emergence of a president of Igbo extraction in the 2023 presidential polls.
The group said everything short of electing an Igbo as president in 2023 would be regarded as a rejection and asking Igbo to leave Nigeria.
Also on the 2023 elections, Legit.ng reported that the national women's leader of the APC, Stella Okotete, had said the party would govern Nigeria beyond the next general elections.
Okotete, a member of the APC caretaker committee, said this when she led a delegation to donate food items to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at Karamajji in Abuja.
