Governor Fubara Returns to Rivers State After Two-Week Private Visit to Germany

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has returned to Port Harcourt after spending two weeks in Germany on a private visit. As reported by The Punch, the governor arrived on Friday evening to a warm welcome from top government officials, political allies, and enthusiastic supporters who gathered at the Port Harcourt International Airport to receive him.

Sources within the state government described the trip as a personal engagement, though details remain undisclosed. Fubara’s return comes at a time of heightened political interest, following recent tensions involving rival political factions in the state.

Dressed in his trademark white outfit, Governor Fubara appeared upbeat as he greeted commissioners, local government leaders, and traditional rulers, all of whom were present to show solidarity and support.

The brief absence had stirred speculation, especially amid ongoing political wranglings, but Fubara’s return is expected to calm nerves and shift focus back to governance. The trip, according to insiders, also served as an opportunity for the governor to reflect and map out strategies for the coming months.

Speaking briefly to reporters, Fubara expressed appreciation for the reception and reaffirmed his commitment to the people of Rivers State. “I am back, and we are moving forward,” he said. “Our focus remains on peace, development, and ensuring that Rivers people continue to receive the dividends of democracy.”

With his return, the governor is set to resume official duties immediately, with pressing issues such as infrastructure development, political reconciliation, and budget execution taking center stage on his agenda.
