There was a wide jubilation in Rivers State on Friday, September 19, 2025, following the arrival of Governor Siminalayi Fubara in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Fubara arrived at the Port Harcourt International Airport at about 11:50 a.m. on Friday, more than 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu ended the six-month emergency rule in the state.
The governor was greeted by a crowd of supporters who had earlier converged at the VIP wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, awaiting his arrival.

While the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly resumed sitting on Thursday, the governor did not show up at the Government House, despite the hundreds of supporters who had gathered to welcome him.
