Suspended Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has returned to Port Harcourt amid mounting political tension, following a reported undisclosed meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in London.
The governor's unannounced return on Saturday morning drew attention at the Port Harcourt International Airport, where he was received by a small entourage of loyal aides and supporters. His reappearance comes just days after sources revealed he had traveled to the United Kingdom for what was described as a “high-level consultation” with the President.
While details of the London meeting remain tightly guarded, political analysts suggest the discussions may have centered on resolving the prolonged political crisis in Rivers State, which culminated in Fubara’s controversial suspension by the State House of Assembly last month.
Neither the Presidency nor Governor Fubara’s office has issued an official statement regarding the purpose or outcome of the meeting. However, speculation continues to swirl about a potential truce being brokered between the warring factions within the state’s political establishment.
