“We had invited presidential candidates of other parties like Labour, NNPP (New Nigeria Peoples Party), they all came and commissioned projects , and we did say to the President-elect that we believe that after the election, we are going to invite him to commission projects too. And luckily, these two very important projects are ready,” he said.

“In fact, part of the activities to mark the inauguration of the new governor for the people of the State will be commissioning of other impactful projects.

“Remember, when the Inspector General of Police came last time to commission the Intelligence Centre in Port Harcourt, we did promise him that we are going to build another Intelligence Centre.

“As I speak to you now, that centre is ready. Some other projects are the Kesley Harrison hospital,” he added.
