Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, will deliver a statewide broadcast at 6:00 pm today to formally mark his return following the suspension of the emergency rule imposed on the state.
Fubara, who arrived at the Government House in Port Harcourt earlier on Friday, expressed gratitude for the massive show of support he received from residents upon his arrival.
Speaking to journalists, the governor said he was humbled by the reception and described it as a demonstration of the strong bond between his administration and the people.
“I am humbled by what I saw at the airport. I was also briefed about what happened here yesterday. That reception really humbled me. It shows love, confidence, and solidarity. It is not just a celebration,” he said.
He added that the overwhelming turnout reflected the trust Rivers people have in his government and pledged to sustain policies and programmes that have earned their support.
“The massive reception by the number of people who came out to celebrate is a reaffirmation of the bond between this government and the people that we are serving. I want to assure you that we will continue to do those things that have made you people love us. I want to appreciate everyone and to say that we love you,” Fubara stated.
He further revealed that his planned broadcast would be used to formally acknowledge and appreciate stakeholders who contributed to restoring peace and stability in the state.
