Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has invited Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwoolu to the inauguration of the recently completed Orochiri-Worukwo (Waterline Junction) flyover in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The invitation comes amid a schism within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) between Wike and Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate for 2023.
Both men had a falling out after Atiku refused to pick him (Wike) as his running mate for the upcoming elections, despite being recommended by a 16-man committee set up by the party to choose a vice-presidential candidate.
Wike made the announcement while inspecting ongoing projects in the state’s Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt local government areas, according to reports.
He disclosed that the next round of project inauguration would commence on August 8 and last for two weeks.

Wike urged the people of the state all to join the government in thanking God Almighty for the accomplishments of his administration. He said the capacity of his administration in inaugurating more projects while also embarking on new ones was unique.
He said: “And I think you can’t hear anything happening in most of the States. But for us, we will end our services to the people on the 29th of May, 2023.”
“Like I said no project will be left abandoned and that is why we have taken priority to make sure that the finances are there to back up these projects. If we don’t have the money, there is no need of awarding contracts.”
