Former national vice-chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Salihu Lukman has declared the end of the party.
Mr. Lukman said APC leaders were only satisfied with having access to government institutions and powers and had no interest in managing the party at various levels.

Meanwhile, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has openly admitted that he was the mastermind behind the removal of Uche Secondus as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike said on Thursday that Secondus wanted his cousin Tere Ikuru to become the next Rivers State governor against the will of the people and did not support the candidacy of Siminalai Hubara.
The FCT Minister said Mr Secondus was removed from office due to his actions.
Naija News reports that Mr Wike made this revelation while speaking at the Ahoada East and Ahoada West PDP year-end thanksgiving held in Ochigba, Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State.
He also criticized former Rivers State Governor Celestine Omehia and Governor Hubara for their recent comments during the commissioning of projects in Rivers State.
