Why I Cannot Reimburse Wike For Rivers State Flyers

0

Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shed more light on why he cannot reinburse Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for the cost of flyovers in the state.

He said: “There is no name I have not been called on social media, I do not respond to social media criticisms.”

“I exchanged a banter with Gov Wike, if you take me seriously, it’s left to you. The truth is, I’m a President-elect. I have no signature for expenditure until sworn in.”

“How can I make a commitment? I cannot sign a dime of Nigeria money or expenditure now. There can only be one president at a time.”

“If you ask me to go and commit to things that are mere expectations and cannot be fulfilled, I believe in fulfilling promises, that’s why I’m here.”

“And we have to do it for Nigeria. I thank you all for the support you gave me during the election, but I’m still on a countdown.”

“If I sign anything for you now and commit to it, I can’t pay. For that flyover, how can I pay, personal? That’s not realistic.”

“I hope that clears the social media fears. I don’t respond to social media talks. There is no name they’ve not called me on social media. It’s a free speech society and around the world.”
