Fubara
Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has returned to the state after a two-week vacation overseas.
He touched down at the international wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, at about 7PM on Friday.
A viral video seen by our correspondent shows the Governor being received by some aides at the Airport.
He was escorted to a waiting Sports Utility Vehicle, which immediately zoomed off.
Though he had travelled to Germany, it was gathered that he met with President Bola Tinubu behind closed doors in London, United Kingdom, recently.
President Tinubu suspended Fubara, his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, and members of the State House of Assembly after he declared a state of emergency.
The President had hinged his decision on the attacks on oil pipelines by some militant groups in the state in the heat of the feud between the Governor and the 27 lawmakers, citing the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. (The PUNCH)
