Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has returned to Port Harcourt following the end of the six-month state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu.
Fubara arrived at the Port Harcourt International Airport around 11:50 a.m. on Friday, September 19, where he was welcomed by a large crowd of supporters who had gathered at the VIP wing in anticipation of his arrival.
Although the Rivers State House of Assembly resumed sitting on Thursday, the governor did not appear at the Government House, despite the presence of hundreds of loyalists awaiting him.
Addressing the crowd, Fubara expressed gratitude for their unwavering support.
“I was briefed with some photographs of what happened here yesterday. That reception really humbled me. It showed love, confidence and solidarity. It is a reaffirmation of the bond between the government and the people we are serving. We will continue to do those things that have made you love us,” he said.
