A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Hon. Yekini Nabena, stated that the resignation of Timipre Sylva from the party in Bayelsa State will not cause the APC to collapse. Sylva stepped down, alleging that the APC had deviated from its foundational ideals, while he is currently under investigation for allegedly sponsoring a coup against President Bola Tinubu. Nabena asserted that the party remains strong and united in Bayelsa State, expressing that 90 percent of the local APC family disagrees with Sylva's decision. He affirmed that the party will remain committed to working for the success of its candidates in upcoming elections, including President Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
