The All Progressives Congress candidate for the February 25, 2023 presidential election and now president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Wednesday told Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike that he (Wike) cannot threaten him by making demands for refunds for roads and flyovers built in the state, saying he (Tinubu) owes the governor nothing.

Wike had demanded a refund from the incoming administration for some projects he executed in the state, claiming it was done on federal roads.

Tinubu who inaugurated the Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and magistrate court building in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital said while he commended Wike’s efforts, he has to lobby if he wants a refunds for the projects executed and not claiming it a rights.

He said “On the flyover and the demand you made for refund, I owe you nothing. It is your road. You can’t chuckle me and make a demand. You are the one living on this road. I commend your effort. You have to lobby me to collect” Tinubu said.

Tinubu arrived Rivers State Wednesday morning to commission Rumuokwuta flyover, the 12th flyover by the administration of Governor Nyesom Wike in four years.
