The rumoured exit of the party stalwarts is expected to be more prominent in the South-west and North-central regions of the country.
According to the report, nine out of the 23 APC governors in the country, have become disenchanted with the party and the government at the centre.
Another source quoted in the report said some of the governors are reaching out to their colleagues in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for alliance in forming a new political party.
