PORT HARCOURT, NIGERIA – In a massive political realignment that has sent shockwaves from Abuja down to the streets of Port Harcourt, the Representative for Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, has officially resigned his position as the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.
The blockbuster announcement was made on the floor of the House by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen following lawmakers' resumption from a four-week recess.
According to his formal resignation letter, which was made public on June 2, 2026, Chinda technically stepped down from the role back on April 23, 2026. His formal defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cements his position as the frontline guber aspirant for the Nyesom Wike political family in Rivers State. Port Harcourt political analysts are already calling this the biggest party cross-carpeting of the year, permanently altering the state's power dynamics.
