Why Opposition Members Are Commissioning Projects

Meanwhile, Governor Nyesom Wike has opened up on why he invited leaders from opposition parties to inaugurate his projects.

According to him, he is free to invite whoever he wants to be present at such events because he has the right to.

Naija News reports that Wike confirmed that the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and his New Nigeria National Party(NNNP) counterpart Rabiu Kwankwaso as well as a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, would be in the state to open some projects.

The Governor was reported to have said this while leading the Emir of Kano, HRH Ado Bayero, at the inauguration of the world-class Peter Odili Cancer Diagnostic and Cardiovascular Centre in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He also confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari would be in the state to inaugurate the Port Harcourt Campus of the Nigeria Law School.

Responding to critics, Wike submitted that “Those, who are saying why am I not inviting them to inaugurate projects, you invite me to inaugurate in your own place. I have a choice to invite whoever I want to come and inaugurate projects. On Wednesday, Adams Oshiomhole will come.”
