The former Rivers State governor also boasted of infrastructural development while he was a minister.
According to Wike: “In four years I constructed 12 flyovers which were done by Julius Berger.
“I never left my state during my second tenure and when I was leaving women brought out their wrappers to say well done my son you have done well.
“Mr president will not regret nominating me if I’m confirmed.”
Recall that Wike, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was part of the first set of nominees screened by the Senate on Monday.
Wike, who was crossed with the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had worked for Tinubu during the 2023 February presidential election.
The PDP chieftain is believed to have been compensated with the ministerial appointment for supporting the then-APC president candidate, Tinubu.
