On allegations that he led supporters to a residence where lawmakers loyal to Wike were meeting during the crisis, Ihunwo declined to revisit the incident. “I was youth leader in Rivers State, and the question was: what was the offence of the governor?” He said, “My leader has instructed us to work to ensure that the Rainbow Coalition succeeds in Rivers State. “My loyalty lies with the governor of Rivers State, and I will follow his instructions.”
