Kingsley Chinda, the frontline political aspirant in Rivers State, has officially clinched the All Progressives Congress governorship ticket following a highly competitive primary election. The declaration came after a tense voting exercise held on the open field, which featured manual headcounts and rigorous queuing processes supervised by the party internal electoral committee.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of SYMFONI on Thursday May 21, 2026, while addressing the massive crowd of party supporters and media correspondents immediately after the declaration of the official results, he stated, “when we win, we will serve the people of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State with the fear of God and respect for the rule of law.”
His victory comes at a critical political juncture following the dramatic decision of three other major co-contenders who willingly stepped down from the race to support a unified front. Journalists on the ground immediately questioned the newly declared candidate regarding his immediate strategic plans to reconcile with his former primary election opponents.
In response, Chinda maintained that his political victory belongs to the entire collective team rather than any single individual, pointing directly to their core campaign slogan which promises inclusive success. He further assured the electorate that his incoming administration will firmly prioritize transparency, proper public accountability, and total progress for all citizens.
In his concluding remarks, the candidate expressed deep gratitude to the state party leaders for finding him worthy to fly the ticket and promised a peaceful campaign. He reiterated his total commitment to maintaining order while working with every single stakeholder to chart a definitive path forward for the main general elections….See More
