Morning recap: APC leaders weigh options as Wike-govs rift deepens, Dangote, marketers cut petrol prices, other top stories

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are considering their next steps as tensions between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and some APC governors escalate. Meanwhile, petroleum marketers and Dangote Refinery have lowered petrol prices in response to a drop in global crude oil prices, with reductions ranging from N20 to N24 per litre.

Osun State was the first to pass a bill for the proposed state police system. In Lagos, a party guest was killed and his body dumped in a river, while Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde accused Wike of lying about federal funding for the Ibadan International Airport. There is also a dispute over a $200 million settlement reached with Sunrise Power over the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project, with differing accounts from former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami and his successor Lateef Fagbemi.
