Mr Buhari arrived the meeting at 11:19 a.m., after Mr Osinbajo and other stakeholders arrived.
Among the earlier arrivals was former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu.
Thursday’s meeting will, among others, address the type of primaries to be adopted by the APC to select its candidates for the 2019 general elections.
Some senators on Wednesday told PREMIUM TIMES they could leave the APC if the party adopts indirect primaries, favoured by some governors.
