A large crowd of Rivers State residents, who had gathered earlier in anticipation of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s arrival at the Government House to resume duty following the end of emergency rule in the state, dispersed after hours of waiting without any sight of the state leader.
The gathering, which began earlier in the day, saw thousands of supporters and well-wishers positioned around the Government House, reportedly expecting the Governor to address them or make a public appearance.
However, by 7:00 p.m., there was still no sign of the Governor, and the once-bustling environment had returned to its usual calm.
No official reason has been given for the Governor’s absence.
