The Port Harcourt City Local Government Area (LGA) built the Magistrate Court on Moscow Road.
The structure was one of the projects commissioned by President-elect Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state on Wednesday.
Aziz Bakare, a Twitter user, sparked a debate over the weekend when he chastised Wike for acting as if he owned state funds.
Bakare said in a tweet that received hundreds of angry responses that the confidence to make such a comment after constructing a public facility with tax payers’ money was “incredible.”

“Governor Wike’s actions did not end there. He allegedly also named other buildings in the courthouse after the current Chief Justice and other judges.”
Bakare stated that Tinubu’s team’s due diligence “should have revealed that such an ethical blunder should not have been part of his first “public duty.”
