President-elect Bola Tinubu has accepted the invitation of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike to commission some projects in the state on Wednesday.
Mr Tinubu disclosed this in a tweet posted on
his verified Twitter handle.
According to the tweet, Mr Wike had in a
letter dated 8 April, invited the president-elect to commission the
Rumuola/Rumuokwuta flyover and the new Magistrate Courts Complex on 3 May and 4
May.

members of different political parties, the duo have been close since the build
up to the presidential election.
Mr Wike, a member of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), was believed to have worked for Mr Tinubu, who was the
presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 25
February election.

governors of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde; Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu; Enugu State,
Ifeanyi Uguwanyi; and Benue State, Samuel Ortom; all members of the PDP, were
believed to have worked the party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the election.
Mr Tinubu won the presidential election in
Rivers State, allegedly aided by Mr Wike.
Meanwhile, a president-elect delegation led
by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, also paid a

Secretary to the Kano State Government in the Second Republic under the
administration of Governor Sabo Bakin-Zuwo.
