In his speech at the opening of the House of Assembly Quarters in the state capital of Port Harcourt, Wike stated that he was busy “delivering the rewards of democracy.”
Wike stated that he would have appeared in court if he had a valid reason to do so in a broadcast televised by Channels TV on Friday.
