Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared May 3, 2023 a public holiday to enable people of the State give the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, a rousing welcome.
The president-elect during his two days official visit to Rivers State is scheduled to commission the Rumuola/Rumuokwuta Flyover and the ultra-modern Magistrates’ Court Complex, Port Harcourt.
Wike, in a state broadcast on Tuesday said during Tinubu’s presidential campaign visit to Rivers State, he had indicated intention to have him commission some strategic projects in the state after the general elections.
This was contained in a statement issued by Kelvin Ebiri, media aide to Wike and sent to newsmen.
Wike, according to the statement, said a formal invitation was sent to the president-elect after the general elections, which he graciously accepted.
Wike explained that the proposed visit to Rivers State is Tinubu’s first official visit to any state since he emerged as the president-elect of Nigeria.
According to him, by this visit, the president-elect will join the long list of distinguished Nigerians the State had hosted to either flag off or commission landmark projects.
