Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, has appeared before the governorship election screening committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the primaries.
Chinda, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had, reportedly, quietly defected to the APC a few days ago.
The lawmaker is said to be one of the two allies of FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, who bought the forms, with the other being Dax Kelly.
DAILY POST reports that other buyers include Governor Sim Fubara and Tonye Cole.
