Mr Ortom, who shares the same caucus with Governor Nyesom Wike, backtracked on the collective position of the group demanding the removal of Mr Ayu.
He commended the APC presidential flag bearer, Bola Tinubu’s visit to other aspirants, adding it was a way of uniting the party.
The Nigerian leader said he allowed governors to choose their favourite successors in their states.
The police, Civil Defence and State Security Service are stationed at different locations around the stadium.
Speaking with journalists, Abubakar Bello said, “I have been acting for a while since the chairman (Buni) traveled.”
“We, the youths of the APC in the South-South zone, are ready for the next level the party is going to. We have come together as one family and preaching unity…”
Mr Dauda equally appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to call the committee to order before it became too late.
The APC says the committee’s objective is to reconcile, harmonise, integrate and unite party members.
The party said it remained united and was working towards removing the All Progressives Congress (APC) from office in 2023.
