Wike Declares Public Holiday, Orders Shutdown Of Businesses As Tinubu Visits by ijustdey: 4:29pm On May 02, 2023

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared Wednesday as a public holiday to enable the people of Rivers State give the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a rousing welcome.

The President-elect, during his two-day official visit to Rivers State, is scheduled to commission the Rumuola/Rumuokwuta Flyover and the ultra-modern Magistrates’ Court Complex, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday and Thursday.

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.

He 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 Tinibu’s first official visit to any state since he emerged as the President-elect of Nigeria.

According to him, by this visit, Tinubu will join the long list of distinguished Nigerians the state had hosted to either flag off or commission landmark projects.

“For us, it is an honour to the government and people of Rivers State to host the President-elect on this historic visit. Consequently, I urge all Rivers citizens to come out en mass to receive our President-elect, His Excellency Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and display the traditional Rivers hospitality as he commissions these legacy projects to God’s glory and the advancement of our development.

“Given this, I hereby declare Wednesday, 3rd May 2023, a public holiday to enable the people of Rivers State to receive our President-elect rousingly.

“Furthermore, all shops and business premises along Rumuola to Rumuokwuta roads in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the State shall remain closed from 8.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. on Wednesday, 3rd May 2023. I urge all labour unions and security agencies to comply with this closure order.”

Governor Wike has therefore, enjoined Rivers people to come out in great numbers and give, ”our amiable President-Elect a rousing welcome during his visit.”

Lol

Who remembers that Wike’s interview where he was asked if he would consider joining APC, and he replied by saying that PDP was “malaria” while APC is “cancer”. He then queried why anyone would leave malaria to go and carry cancer.

Na the same dey declare public holiday for cancer today🤦.

And I once thought Wike really stood for integrity, justice and fairness.

I’m sure it is the fear of empty streets that made him declare public holiday so that he can order civil servants to come lineup along the road to give the false impression that Rivers people came out en masse to welcome Tinubu.

But I dare to say that Tinubu will still be met by a ghost town.

Quote me after the shameful outing tomorrow.

This is presidential treatment from Wike.

All Nigerians should know that hard work and delayed gratification pays as alluded to by Aisha Yesufu in 2014.

Now, Tinubu has patiently attained the heights he worked for with patience and perseverance.

Those who were practicing political prostitution and ticket hunting like Atiku and Obi, are still in the wilderness of endless pursuits.

Lol everyone knows the state government doesn't do any work. Can any lawyer tell me what laws give him this power. I'm just curious considering public holidays are federal powers for whatever reason.
