A power struggle is festering in the All Progressive Congress. The Sun reports. Nigeria's 2019 presidency race has split the All Progressive Congress into 3 battling factions, report added.

The three main camps are the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) caucus, defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) cum South-West caucus and new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) caucus.
