Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has confirmed the
President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is scheduled to inaugurate the
iconic Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and Magistrate Court building in Port
Harcourt on May 3 and 4.
The 1007.5 metres Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover, which connects
Rumuola road to Ikwerre road, is the 12th flyover built by Wike’s
administration since 2019.
Wike, in a statement by his Special Assistant, Media, Kelvin
Ebiri, announced Tinubu would pay a two-day official visit to Rivers State to inaugurate
the projects.
The Governor spoke on Wednesday when he inspected the Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and Magistrates Court building in Port Harcourt.
He said: “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.
“You can see the Magistrate 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 explained that the President-elect was told when he
came to campaign in Rivers State and paid a courtesy call in Government House
Port Harcourt in February 2023 that he would be invited to inaugurate some of
the landmark projects of his administration.
He said: “We had invited presidential candidates of other
parties like Labour, NNPP (New Nigeria Peoples Party), they all came and
inaugurated projects and we did say to him (President-elect) that we believe
that after the election we are going to invite him to inaugurate projects too.
And luckily, these two very important projects are ready.”
The Rivers governor said it was gratifying that his
administration was able to commence and finish the construction of 12 flyovers
within the last four years.
According to him, Rivers people will attest to the fact that
his administration has conscientiously delivered on the promises made to them.
