Buhari, Ambode Differ Over Inauguration Of Eko Atlantic City

Ambode had twitted that the President visited Eko Atlantic City to inaugurate the project.

“We took a tour of the Eko Atlantic City with Mr. President as he officially commissioned (sic) the project. Eko Atlantic is a good example of what Public and Private Partnership can do to the Nigerian economy,” Ambode tweeted.

Amid the controversy, the presidency responded on Saturday that Buhari had no business inaugurating the project.

It tweeted that the president only toured the Eko Atlantic City as part of the activities marking his visit to the state.

“President Buhari did not commission or launch Eko Atlantic City,” it said, adding: “His visit was a tour, as part of his two-day official visit to Lagos state, and the plaque he unveiled was to commemorate the visit to the site.”
