The Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara Tuesday paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
The Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the visit.
Tinubu, had on March 18, 2025 declared a state of emergency citing the need to restore law and order in the state.
Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike had been on a warpath and every political effort to resolve the issue by the President failed.
Even after the Supreme Court’s judgement both camps were not set for peace with subtle threats flying in the air.
To ensure peace, the President in a national broadcast announced the suspension of Fubara, his Deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu and all elected members of the Rivers Assembly for an initial six months.
The President appointed Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas administrator to steer the affairs of the state, during the period of the emergency rule.
Onanuga on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday said: “Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers, now on suspension from office, visited President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Tuesday.”
