Vanguard of Lawyers Endorses Kingsley Chinda for Rivers Governorship

The Vanguard of Lawyers, a group of legal practitioners, has endorsed Kingsley Chinda (Rep, Obio Akpor) as the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for Rivers State, along with his running mate, Major Jack, in preparation for the 2027 election. The endorsement was announced during a press conference led by Chairman Eberechi Adele and Coordinator Osi Olisa.

They emphasized that their support is based on Chinda's legislative experience, public accountability, and contributions to constituency development, rather than personal affiliations. Chinda, who was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1995, previously served as Rivers State Commissioner for Environment and has represented Obio/Akpor federal constituency in the House of Representatives since 2011.

His roles included chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts and Minority Leader of the 10th House of Representatives. The group highlighted his initiatives in legislative oversight and various constituency projects aimed at improving education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.

Major Jack's experience as Majority Leader in the Rivers State House of Assembly was also noted as a valuable asset to the ticket.
