The article discusses the situation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, following the departure of Chief Timipre Sylva, a former Minister of Petroleum and Governor of Bayelsa. Yekini Nabena, a former spokesperson for the APC, stated that despite Sylva's resignation, the party remains strong and united in Bayelsa.

He reassured that they are committed to supporting the party's candidates in upcoming elections, including the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
