  "summary": "Yekini Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that the resignation of former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva will not weaken the party in the state. Despite Sylva's decision to leave the party on August 31, citing the party's deviation from its founding ideals, Nabena emphasized that the Bayelsa APC remains strong and united. He assured that about 90% of APC members and stakeholders in Bayelsa will continue to support the party, and the party's structure is larger than any individual, ensuring its resilience. Nabena expressed confidence in the party's ability to retain its support base and achieve future electoral victories in Bayelsa.",
