Shock Move: APC Screens PDP Reps Minority Leader For Rivers Governorship Race.
The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, has been screened by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of its governorship primaries in Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Chinda, who represents Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), appeared before the APC screening committee on Saturday as an aspirant for the party’s 2027 Rivers governorship ticket.
His participation in the screening exercise has intensified speculation that the lawmaker may be preparing to defect from the PDP to the ruling APC, although he has not publicly confirmed any such move.
Chinda is among two close associates of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who have purchased APC governorship nomination forms for the contest.
The second aspirant is Dax George-Kelly, Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA), whose eligibility has been questioned due to his current status as a political appointee.
The Presidency, through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, had earlier instructed all political appointees interested in elective offices in 2027 to resign by March 30, 2026.
Other notable aspirants in the Rivers APC governorship race include Governor Siminalayi Fubara and former candidate, Tonye Cole, as the contest continues to generate political tension within the state.
