Speaking with newsmen after the exercise on Sunday, Chief Sylva said the ongoing exercise will strengthen the ruling APC and encourage internal democracy within the party.
The former governor said: “As we all know; politics is about the number, our great party APC is doing everything possible to encourage internal democracy where all members’ voices will be heard. We commend the party.
“APC is a strong party in Bayelsa.
“The love for our party is growing every day, so the opportunity has presented itself for those that are yet to join us to take the advantage of this exercise and join the fold.”
