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.
