Wike explains why he invited Peter Obi to commission his project in Rivers

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has slammed those criticizing him for his choice of special guests invited to commission his project.
Wike has invited Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate to commission another project in the state.

The governor was speaking on Monday during the commissioning of the recently constructed Dr Peter Odili Cardiovascular and Cancer Screening Centre in Port Harcourt.

He said anyone who intends to develop high blood pressure for his decisions should go ahead and do so.

He said: “Those who are asking why I’m not inviting them to commission the project, you, invite me to commission in your own place? I have a choice to invite whomever I want to come and commission projects.”

Continuing, he said: “On Wednesday, Adams Oshiomole will come and commission, on Thursday Peter Obi will come and commission on Friday President Buhari will commission the Nigerian Law School. On Monday Kwankwaso will come and commission. So I chose those I wanted to come and if you want to have high blood pressure it’s your business.”
