Fubara Travels Out, Sighted At Frankfurt, Germany

By Adesina Soyooye

Suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, is out of the country.

Fubara, suspended from office since March 18, along with his Deputy and Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly was sighted at Franfurt Airport Germany. His destination was not known, however, but it is the first time Fubara would would travel out of the country since the political crisis in Rivers State, a fall-out of his sour relationship with  his estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike. Since his suspension from office, he has not been seen publicly  in office as such.

His presence at Franfurt was announced by a fellow traveler, Bernard Izunna Obimma, who met  him. Obimma was on his way to London when both met.

“I met with His Excellency, Governor Fubara, in the early hours of this morning at Franfurt Airport.  He struck me as a remarkably gentle, modest, and humble man.

“During our brief conversation as we walked,  I made it a point to remind him that he carries the mandate of the people of Rivers State – and that no force of the Nebuchadnezzar, however tyrannical, can override the will of the people.

“I assured him that many well- meaning Nigerians, myself included, stand firmly with him and reject his unlawful removal and the installation of an illegitimate Sole Administrator who  governs outside the bounds of legality.”

In his Easter message, Fubara urged Rivers people to keep supporters the Government of President Bola Tinubu, and promised Rivers people of a better future.

He said: “I reiterate my unwavering commitment to delivering good governance to the resilient and dignified people of Rivers State.”
