PROJECT REFUND: I OWE YOU NOTHING, TINUBU TELLS WIKE

The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, yesterday, rejected a request made by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for a refund for the construction of some federal roads in the state.

Tinubu spoke while inaugurating the Rumuokwuta-Rumuola Flyover, in the Obio/Akpor Council of the state.

While noting how the state had to amend its procurement law to enable it to source funds and complete various flyover projects it embarked upon in record time, Wike said the projects undertaken by the state ought to be done by Federal Government.

But in his response, Tinubu stated: “For the 12th flyover and the demand you made for a refund, I owe you nothing. It is your road.
