Ex-Bayelsa Gov Sylva Quits APC Amid Coup Plot Charges, Predicts Tinubu Defeat in 2027

Former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva has resigned from Nigeria's ruling APC while facing an alleged coup plot charge, vowing that Nigerians will vote against President Tinubu in 2027. The move signals deepening political instability and potential factional realignment ahead of the next election cycle. The claim of a coup plot remains unverified, and Sylva's prediction is speculative.
