The celebration coincided with the National Elective Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), taking place simultaneously in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Tensions within the PDP have escalated in recent days.
Wike’s faction sought to halt the convention through court orders, while the group led by Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum pressed ahead with the exercise.
