Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State on Friday made a triumphant return to Port Harcourt, two days after President Bola Tinubu lifted the state of emergency imposed on the state and ordered his reinstatement.
The governor’s aircraft touched down at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, at exactly 11:50 a.m., where he was received by a large crowd of loyalists and political allies.
Among those at the airport to welcome him were former Commissioner for Information and Communications, Barr. Emma Okah; former Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Oreh; former Nigerian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Oji Ngofa; former Commissioner for Environment, Sydney Gbara; and former factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Victor Oko-Jumbo.
Others included former Commissioner for Youths, Chisom Gbali; former Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Evans Bipi; former President of NUPENG, Igwe Achese; former Commissioner for Education, Dr. Tamunosisi Gogo-Jaja; and former local government chairmen, Ezebunwo Ichemati (Port Harcourt City) and Obio/Akpor, among others.
Governor Fubara’s return is expected to further shape the political climate in Rivers following weeks of tension and uncertainty triggered by the state of emergency.
