Former Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva
A former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and former Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Timipre Sylva, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress.
Sylva also criticised the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, saying it had disappointed the majority of Nigerians and expressing confidence that the electorate would vote for a change in the 2027 general elections.
In a resignation letter dated August 31, 2026, obtained by our correspondent, Sylva said he could no longer remain in a party whose leaders had allegedly embraced the philosophy that “all is fair in politics.”
The letter, addressed to the APC Chairman of Ward 4 in Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, was electronically delivered.
