Former Bayelsa State Governor and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), albeit from hiding, accusing the party of abandoning its founding ideals and the federal government of disappointing the majority of Nigerians.
Sylva, a founding member of the APC, announced his resignation in a letter yesterday, electronically delivered to the APC Chairman of Ward 4, Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The former governor is wanted by Nigerian authorities in connection with allegations arising from a recently failed coup plot, as well as a separate $14.86 million fraud case.
