Reactions have continued to trail the decision of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike to name a new courthouse in the state after his wife, Suzette Eberechi.
The Magistrate Court was constructed at the Moscow Road in the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area (LGA).
The edifice was one of the projects President-elect Bola Tinubu commissioned during his visit to the state on Wednesday.
A Twitter user, Aziz Bakare, stirred up a conversation at the weekend after he lambasted Wike for acting as though he owned state funds.

In a tweet with hundreds of angry reactions, Bakare said the confidence to make such a comment after constructing a public facility with taxpayers’ money “is incredible”.
“To make it worse, the wife is currently a Judge in the same state. Forget the NBA, is the NJC still in existence? How is this ethical?
“Governor Wike did not stop there. He also, allegedly, named other buildings in the courthouse after the sitting CJ and other Judges.”
Bakare said due diligence from Tinubu’s team “should have revealed that such ethical mishap should not form part of his first “public duty”.
