The two factional groups refused to end the protracted power tussle.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the meeting, a former Minority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, said the meeting anchored on party supremacy.
He added that before the end of the day, Nigerians would be briefed on the decision reached.
“We are still talking and this is the first time that the two camps will be sitting together as one family in an atmosphere of camaraderie,” he said.
However, the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said the party would have a good news for Nigerians by tomorrow.

The meeting took place yesterday July 27. President Buhari had called for the meeting with the APC lawmakers to seek for ways to resolve the leadership crisis rocking the lower chamber but the meeting ended in a deadlock with both factions, the Yakubu Dogara faction and Femi Gbajabiamila faction, refusing to bulge and sticking to their different positions. President Buhari however told the members to respect the party's decision. The house has been in a lingering crisis after the Dogara faction rejected APC's decision to make Femi Gbajabiamila the House Majority leader.
