Bayelsa APC Stays United Despite Sylva's Resignation
On Monday, Timipre Sylva, the former Governor of Bayelsa State, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming the party had strayed from its foundational ideals. In a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja, Hon Nabena, representing about 90% of Bayelsa APC members, asserted that the party remains strong and united.
He emphasized that the APC in Bayelsa is a formidable institution that transcends any single individual. Nabena acknowledged Sylva's contributions to the party but expressed that the majority of Bayelsa APC members would continue to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election and other party candidates in the upcoming elections.
He stated that the issues facing the country are related to leadership rather than political parties, and reaffirmed their commitment to the APC, highlighting their investment and sacrifices in building the party's structure.
