Fubara: What I discussed with Tinubu

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has disclosed details of his meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu met with Fubara behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday, September 22, 2025.

Speaking during an interview with State House correspondents shortly after the meeting, Fubara described his visit to the president as necessary, following his resumption of duties after six months of emergency rule in Rivers State.

The governor said: “You’re aware that the suspension was lifted midnight September 17, and I came in on the 19th.

“Ideally, it’s proper for me to see Mr President and to tell him that I’m back, and I’ve also resumed my responsibility as the governor of Rivers State.”

He said the visit was also an opportunity to seek guidance from Tinubu and avoid any future political crises in Rivers State.

“It’s not much. It’s father-son discussion, telling him thank you, and the areas where, if at all, there should be any issue for him to guide me properly so that we don’t be in any situation of crisis,” Fubara stated.

He added that peace has fully returned to the state, pledging that his administration will work with stakeholders to sustain it in the interest of the people.

”As far as I’m concerned, we have made peace. Fubara and his principal are working together,” Fubara said.
