The meeting will be the first to be held among the various people concerned since the March and April 2015 elections were conducted.
Both the current serving governors, such as Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state, Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, and all the APC governors-elect will be in attendance.
One of the governors, who spoke on the condition of anonymity with a correspondent of The PUNCH in Abuja on Sunday, said, “the APC governors, serving and incoming, are to meet GMB (Buhari) on Tuesday morning in Abuja to pay a courtesy call on him, formally congratulate him on his electoral victory and make input into the policy direction of the administration ahead of the May 29 inauguration of the new government.
“Ahead of the Tuesday meeting, the governors would hold a meeting on Monday evening in Abuja, where we would firm up our presentation to the President-elect.”
During the course of the meeting, the governors would press home their demands of being granted the opportunity to nominate who becomes the senate president of the 8th National Assembly.
The governors would equally demand that they be allowed to nominate those to be appointed ministers in their states.
It was gathered that the governors felt that they should be allowed to present the next Senate President since they had not collectively got anything since the formation of the APC.
The governors believed that they played a prominent role in the merger that led to the formation of the APC.
