Government Ekpumopolo, an ex-militant Leader has assured of the return of Governor Siminalaye Fubara to the Rivers State Government House.
The former Niger Delta militant gave the assurance during the celebrations to mark his birthday anniversary at the weekend in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West local government area of Delta State.
Tompolo said the Ijaw Nation will ensure that the Rivers state governor is returned to office by championing a dialogue with all the parties involved in the conflict that led to the suspension of the governor.
He said the embattled governor has the support of all Ijaw people who will ensure, despite their political differences, that that their interests are pursued at all times.
He said, “One of us is stronger than twenty. Our brother, the governor of Bayelsa State, no matter our political disagreements—will always have our support.
“Even in Rivers State, our son Fubara will return to his rightful place. Dialogue and understanding will prevail.”
Recall that Governor Fubara, his Deputy, and members of the state House of Assembly were suspended last month by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Fubara’s suspension marked a tipping point in the power struggle between Governor Fubara and his earlswhule godfather, Nyesom Wike, the immediate past governor of the state and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
The president has since appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, a former Chief of Naval Staff as the Sole Administrator of the oil rich state.
