Chijioke Ihunwo, a prominent member of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, has exposed alleged election rigging in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2023 presidential election in Rivers State.
According to Ihunwo, the Labour Party’s victory in the state was manipulated, and the results were purportedly falsified to benefit the APC.

The controversy surrounding the elections reached a new level when the National Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC as the winner on February 25, 2023.
This announcement was met with widespread skepticism and labeled as one of the most fraudulent polls in the nation’s political history.
During a public function, Ihunwo was heard in a video clip posted by an X user, @aai_austin, urging the audience to remain calm amidst the escalating crisis between the state governor, Siminialayi Fubara, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesome Wike.
He said, “The election, na we write the results. The election is for Labour Party. We no dey fear anybody.”
