Rivers: Fubara makes first public appearance after reinstatement

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State on Sunday made his first public appearance after his reinstatement.

Fubara and his wife, Valerie, attended a thanksgiving service at his home church, St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, in Opobo Kingdom.

The reinstated governor said the service was to thank God, the Church and people of the state for their prayers.

Posting on X, Fubara wrote: “In thanksgiving and to glorify God Almighty for His boundless mercy, divine guidance and steadfast love, my wife and I had the honour of worshipping at our home church, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Opobo Kingdom.

“The service was also a moment to sincerely appreciate the church and the good people of Rivers State, whose fervent prayers remain our reservoir of strength and courage on this journey of service.

“As we commemorate International Peace Day today, we will continue to walk together in harmony, guided by faith, unity and a sense of purpose. To God alone be the glory.”

Fubara who was suspended for six months by President Bola Tinubu was reinstated on Wednesday.

The President had ordered his reinstatement after lifting the emergency rule he imposed on the state.
