Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has returned to Port Harcourt to resume duties, a day after President Bola Tinubu lifted the six month emergency rule in the state.
Fubara’s flight touched down at the Port Harcourt International Airport around 11:50 a.m. on Friday, where he was received by a jubilant crowd of supporters who had thronged the VIP wing to welcome him.
Although the State House of Assembly reconvened on Thursday, The News Chronicle observed that the governor was absent at the Government House, leaving supporters who had gathered there disappointed. His return now signals a full resumption of governance in the state.
