ABUJA, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Monday visited President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, days after his reinstatement as governor.
Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, Governor Fubara said the visit was a mark of respect to officially inform the President that he had resumed duties following the lifting of his suspension on September 17.
“Since my suspension was lifted, it is only proper to see Mr. President, to thank him, and to seek his guidance where necessary, so that we don’t find ourselves in any situation of crisis,” Fubara stated.
Describing the meeting as a “father-son discussion,” the governor revealed that the President offered him advice on governance and leadership, stressing the need for stability in the state.
When asked if the prevailing calm in Rivers State was sustainable or a temporary truce, Fubara expressed confidence in its durability.
“As far as I’m concerned, we have made peace. My father and his principal are working together. Rivers people should expect stability and progress,” he assured.
The governor’s visit underscores ongoing Federal Government efforts to restore harmony in Rivers State, which had been rattled by months of political tension.
