Ben Bruce is not the type of Jack that can survive Bayelsa Politics. In as much as many people dont like Sylva Timipre, they are very much ready to collect government cash from him and at the same time run errand for him.
Up to 99% of wealthy Bayelsans got and are still getting their cash from government purse. Ben Bruce cannot dig that. A lot of violence can as well be seen in the political setting in BY. All the politicians in BY have their boys that are ready to do dirty jobs for them. Bruce do not have any gang connection here. The so called repentant militants are calling the shots here and the government of Sylva might get their great support.
I don't really see much about the influence of Ben Bruce in BY.

Y e no just continue wit his bizness of searchin for beautiful girls instead of politics
