The announcement of the resignation of House Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda, yesterday raised fresh questions over how the lawmaker retained one of the most prominent opposition positions in the National Assembly despite emerging as the governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.
Chinda’s resignation letter, dated April 23, 2026, was read by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during plenary on Tuesday, almost two months after it was purportedly written.
