The countdown to the inauguration of Sir Siminialayi Fubara and Prof Mrs Ngozi Odu, as Governor and Deputy Governor of Rivers State has commenced, according to information released to Africa Update by the Media and publicity subcommittee.
Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub Committee, Chris Finebone, who is also the Commissioner for Information and Communications, said the events will kickoff with commissioning of projects, because Governor Wike believes that working so hard and ending his administration strong will provide the incoming Siminalayi administration the needed momentum to excel from the beginning and continue strong.”
His words: “This all-important press conference has been called to brief you all on the chain of activities lined up to mark the Inauguration of Sir Siminalayi Fubara and Prof. Ngozi Odu as Governor and Deputy Governor of Rivers State respectively come May 29, 2023.
“These events will kickoff from today after this press conference with the commissioning of Rumuesara Internal Roads & Akpabu-Odido Link Road. Subsequent days will feature more project flag-offs & commissioning. This will underline the unprecedented decision of the Gov. Wike administration to wind up or end even stronger than it started. Gov. Wike believes that working so hard and ending his administration strong will provide the incoming Siminalayi administration the needed momentum to excel from the beginning and continue strong.
“The Gov. Wike administration that will bow out on May 29, will be providing the incoming administration the advantage of having a well articulated handover, something the outgoing administration did not benefit from the administration it succeeded on May 29, 2015.
“Therefore, the ground is being prepared for the Siminalayi administration to have a seamless and very smooth takeoff from day one.
