Rivers State came alive this morning, when the able Governor Nyesom Wike, having declared a public holiday in the state today, welcomed the President-elect, Bola Tinubu to the state.
From the Port Harcourt International Airport, the festivities was real, the happiness in the land was infectious, the show of culture and tradition colourful and the entourage that received the President -elect was made up of the entire government itself, the National and State Assembly members, local government chairmen and government appointees.
The handshake across the Niger continued with a laid out programme for the President-elect to commission the Rumuola/Rumuokwuta Flyover and the ultra-modern Magistrates’ Court Complex, Port Harcourt, during his two-day official visit to the State.
But first, the President-elect will later today, be hosted at a state banquet of which the people of Rivers State are already looking forward to.
Governor Wike's Rivers state is now on record to be the first state, to host a President-elect on official state visit, with commissioning of projects.
