Fubara visits President Tinubu in Lagos

Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended Governor of Rivers State, has paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy to the President, confirmed the visit.

Recall that in March, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State in a nationwide broadcast amid a lingering political empasse between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

The President also announced the suspension of Fubara, his Deputy, Mrs. Ngozi Odu and all elected members of the Rivers Assembly for an initial six months.

After suspending Fubara, President Tinubu nominated retired Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas as administrator to steer the affairs of the state during the emergency rule.
