Also expected at the meeting are former governorship candidates who are still in the party, representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress /Trade Union Congress Political Commission and all members of the former National Working Committee.
Aliyu said the meeting called by Obi and Otti had become necessary to clarify the recent Supreme Court judgment.
The apex court had last Friday sacked Julius Abure as the LP national chairman.
A five-member panel of the Supreme Court in its ruling held that Appeal Court had no jurisdiction over internal affairs of the party.
