Suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is expected to return to office on September 19, following the expiration of the emergency rule in the state on September 18.
President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, held a closed-door meeting with the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (rtd.), at the State House, Abuja. Although details of the meeting were not disclosed, sources said discussions centered on the transition as the emergency rule winds down.
Fubara was suspended by President Tinubu over five months ago amid political unrest that rocked the state.
