GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has requested for a state visit from President Muhammadu Buhari. He said the president should come and see what the state has accomplished in the last five years.

Wike made the request in his appreciation letter to Buhari for approving the refund of N78.9 billion to the state, as cost of execution of federal government road projects in the state. He also appreciated Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and other members of the Federal Executive Council for the approval.

The governor noted that Buhari has by this remarkable and heart-warming gesture shown his love for the government and people of Rivers State. He noted that the president has demonstrated expressively that he is indeed the president for every state of the federation and Nigerians.

“I assure you that the Rivers State Government is willing and ever ready to cooperate and partner with the federal government to advance the developmental aspirations of Rivers State, in particular, and our nation in general. I wish to, therefore, appeal to Mr. President to kindly oblige us a state visit when invited to see what we have accomplished for the state and our people with the money,” he said. (Realnews)
