Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, has stirred controversy after claiming that election results were written and handed over to electoral officials for announcement.

Okocha reportedly said this while speaking during a press conference.

He noted that such practices occurred during his time, alleging that outcomes were prepared in advance and then passed to the commission for formal declaration.

“Elections could be written inside the chief of staff’s office. It was done so in my time; we did so. We write the result and hand it over to the commission; their business is to go and announce,” he stated in a viral video circulating online.
