Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has arrived at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to visit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Naijaonpoint reports that Fubara is visiting the Presidential Villa for the first time since he was reinstated as the governor of Rivers, after a six-month emergency rule imposed on the state by Tinubu.
According to Channels Television, the Rivers State Governor arrived the villa alone at about 6:20 p.m. on Monday and made his way towards the office of the President.
Although the actual reason for Fubara’s visit to the presidential villa was not public as of the time of filing the report, it may not be unconnected to his reinstatement by Tinubu.
Fubara, his deputy and members of the State House of Assembly were suspended from office on March 18, 2025, by the President, following the political unrest in the state.
Tinubu announced the end of the emergency rule on September 17, 2025.
In a statewide broadcast, Fubara had expressed appreciation to the President for intervening in the crisis in Rivers State, saying he remained “eternally grateful”.
Meanwhile, in a post on his X handle, Fubara disclosed that members of the NPA board and management had paid him a visit.
He wrote: “Today, I hosted members of the Nigerian Ports Authority Board and Management on a courtesy visit.
“I urged the NPA team to optimise the Port Harcourt and Onne Ports to create more jobs, increase economic activity and strengthen Rivers State’s position in Nigeria’s ease of doing business ranking.”
