Bayelsa APC chieftain, Joshua Maciver dumps party, restates support for Tinubu’s re-election

A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Great Joshua Maciver, has resigned from the ruling party.

Maciver, who is the Bayelsa Deputy Governorship candidate in the 2023 election, hinted that his resignation was based on personal reasons.

His resignation was disclosed via a letter addressed to the APC Chairman in Olodiama 2, Ward 4 in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state, and made available to newsmen.

“I, MR. JOSHUA MACIVER, a card-carrying member and the immediate past Deputy Governorship candidate under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 Governorship Election in Bayelsa State, hereby resign and withdraw my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The reason for my resignation and withdrawal of membership is strictly personal,” the letter read in part.

However, Maciver thanked the party for providing him with a platform to participate actively in its activities.

Meanwhile, the popular Bayelsa politician has restated his continued support for President Bola Tinubu and commitment to his 2027 reelection bid.

He made the declaration while speaking briefly to journalists following his resignation.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains my President till 2031. His second tenure is not negotiable, and my commitment to his vision for a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria remains firm and unwavering,” MacIver said.
