Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has invited the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to inaugurate the Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and Magistrates’ Court building in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, scheduled for May 3rd and 4th.
Wike made this known on Wednesday, April 26,
2023, while inspecting some completed projects in the state.
He said that as part of the activities to
mark the inauguration of the incoming administration in Rivers State, his
administration had embarked on several projects like the Intelligence Centre in
Rumueprikom, the remodelled Prof. Kesley Harrison and Dental and Maxillofacial
hospitals, among other projects which have been earmarked for the May 29
inauguration.
“To God be the glory. We are expecting the
President-elect on the 3rd and 4th of next month to commission the 12th flyover
and the Magistrates Court building,” he said.
“You can see the Magistrates Court building
and how amazing it is. We commend the contractor too who has done this job, and
quite on time. I don’t think you can find this anywhere in this part of the
country.”
Wike said Tinubu was informed that he would
be invited to inaugurate some “landmark projects” of his administration.
“We had invited presidential candidates of
other parties like Labour Party (LP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) —
they all came and commissioned projects and we did say to him (President-elect)
that we believe that after the election we are going to invite him to
commission projects too. And luckily, these two very important projects are
ready,” he said.
Wike said his administration started and
completed 12 flyovers within the past four years, adding that he has fulfilled
the promise he made to the people of the state.
“Rivers people will of course attest to the
fact that we have given our best and we thank God and give him the glory that
it has turned out this way. We are extremely happy and we can beat our chest,
we can go home satisfied that we have not disappointed our people,” he said.
“In fact, part of the activities to mark the
inauguration of the new governor for the people of the state will be the
commissioning of other impactful projects.
“Remember when the inspector-general of
police came last time to commission the intelligence centre (Port Harcourt), we
did promise him that we are going to build another intelligence centre. As I speak to you now, that centre is
ready. Some other projects are the
Kesley Harrison hospital.”
