Former Obio/Akpor Local Government Chairman, Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo, has declared his support for House of Representatives Minority Leader, Rt. Hon. Kingsley Ogundu Chinda, popularly known as OK Chinda, describing him as his brother.
Ihunwo made the declaration during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show, where he insisted that his support for Chinda was unwavering.
“OK Chinda is my brother, and I will support him whether you like it or not,” he declared.
Speaking on the political situation in Rivers State, Ihunwo acknowledged that supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara had suffered a political setback in their confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike.

However, he maintained that Fubara remains the state’s number one political leader, describing him as the state’s “001”.
According to Ihunwo, the governor had directed his loyalists to join the Rainbow Coalition and work towards peace and unity in Rivers State.
He added that political leaders were now moving forward together and reaffirmed his commitment to continuing to serve his political principals.
Ihunwo, a long-time ally of Governor Fubara, had previously engaged in a public disagreement with Chinda during a reconciliation meeting over who should be recognised as the political leader of Rivers State.
His latest declaration signals a public endorsement of Chinda despite their previous political differences.
