Port Harcourt, Rivers State — In a move certain to stir fresh conversations within Rivers State’s political circles, suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara has quietly returned to Port Harcourt after a two-week stay in Germany.
Fubara, who has been at the center of a high-stakes political drama in the oil-rich state, arrived at the international wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, around 7PM on Friday, May 2, 2025. He was discreetly received by some of his aides and swiftly driven away in a waiting Sports Utility Vehicle.
His arrival, first reported by The Punch, comes as tensions remain unresolved between Fubara and his political rivals. His suspension from office had sparked waves of controversy, with reports of behind-the-scenes reconciliation efforts involving influential figures.
Meanwhile, reactions from Nigerians have flooded social media, offering a mix of satire, skepticism, and outright criticism.
