Fubara makes first public appearance after UK trip
The suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has honoured the Boys Brigade Metropolitan Battalion Council Nigeria with his presence at their special 2025 Thanksgiving Service.
The governor who returned to Port Harcourt on Saturday evening after a two-week vacation in the United Kingdom is making his first public appearance
The Service was presided over by the Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Oko-Jaja took place at the St. Cyprain’s Church, Anglican Communion in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
A statement by the suspended governor’s media aide, Nelson Chukwudi, said the Thanksgiving Service was held to celebrate the successful religious camp activities of the Boys Brigade in the state.
The highlight of the occasion was a special prayer for Fubara, his family and the peace of the state.
The governor was accompanied to the Thanksgiving Service by Amaopusenibo Fubara Hart and Dr Tamunosisi Gogo-Jaja.
Our correspondent reports that Fubara’s return from the UK came as his estranged political godfather, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike accused him of sponsoring the disruption of the empowerment programme for women in Port Harcourt organised by the office of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The development may have dampened the much-talked-about peace efforts to reconcile Wike and the Governor.
