Fubara and Rivers State House of Assembly members got the nod to return to office as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu terminated the six-month emergency rule at midnight on Wednesday.
In anticipation of his resumption, supporters of the governor thronged the Government House in large numbers as early as 6am drumming and singing, but Fubara was nowhere to be found.
Nobody gave any indication to the crowd as to why he did not turn up.
But Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike dropped the hint last night when he appeared on a national television programme, that Fubara left Europe where he was on vacation yesterday morning.
But the lawmakers has a session presided over by Speaker Martins Amaewhule to signify their return to duties.
During the session, they expressed their readiness to start receiving correspondent from the governor.
During the first post-emergency rule plenary, the lawmakers unfolded plans to review the budget passed during the tenure of Administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas, who bowed out on Wednesday night following a broadcast.
Wike, who assured that peace had returned to the state, said he spoke with Fubara on Wednesday ahead of the lifting of the emergency rule by President Tinubu.
He said stakeholders were now committed to moving the state forward.
He said: “As I speak to you, as of yesterday, I spoke to the governor. I told him I was leaving that night to come back, and he told me he was leaving this morning.
“So, I can tell you that, by the grace of God, peace has returned. And look at what the Assembly did today to set the tone — you can see peace; you can see we are prepared, for the interest of the state. Let’s move forward.”
Asked who among them placed the call to the other, Wike said it is not important who called, adding that what mattered is that there is peace again in the state.
Wike added that he has forgiven Fubara, saying there is no more conflict between him and his successor.
He said: “I have already said that we’ve been speaking. I will not engage with a man I have not forgiven. Everything is over. I am not a politician, who says one thing today and another tomorrow. We must move forward.”
The FCT minister also criticised those he said are opposed to the return of peace in the state, saying they are only interested in fuelling the crisis.
No communication from governor
There was anxiety as Fubara did not resume, despite the handover by Ibas.
The governor, who was not sighted anywhere in the state, did not also make any broadcast to the people.
Fubara’s supporters under the aegis of the disbanded ‘Simplified Movement’ from the 23 local governments besieged the Government House gate to receive him from 6 am.
Victor Oko-Jumbo, and sacked council chairmen – Chijoke Ihunwo and Ichemati Ezebunwo – were among loyalists, who led others to wait for the governor.
They turned the arena into a carnival, with flutes, drums, dancing troupes and other musical instruments, to welcome Fubara.
The supporters occupied the stretch of Nnamdi Azikiwe Road and adjoining streets, blocking the area and denying commuters access to the roads.
Motorists were forced to divert their vehicles to the internal roads, which were partly blocked by the supporters’ vehicles.
After waiting for seven hours, the crowd began to disperse when there was no positive response to the enquiries by their leaders.
Operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) at the Government House gate did not allow anybody to enter.
House of Assembly resumes plenary
However, the House of Assembly reconvened at the conference hall in the legislative quarters, which had served as its temporary chamber since their official chamber on Moscow Road was bombed by arsonist and pulled down by the state government.
Efforts by Ibas to complete reconstruction of the Assembly quarters proved abortive.
The lawmakers set agenda for the remaining part of the third session through a motion by the House Leader, Major Jack, on behalf of eight other co-sponsors.
They said the agenda contained in the motion reflected current realities.
Amaewhule commended President Tinubu for restoring democratic institutions in the state.
He said the House would work with the governor and abide by the terms of the peace parley and the Constitution in the interest of good governance.
The House resolved to call on Fubara to forward the list of commissioner-nominees for screening and confirmation in line with the Constitution.
The House called on the governor to forward an Appropriation Bill to cover the remaining part of the year.
The lawmakers resolved to probe the six months emergency rule, with a view to determining the award of contracts and expenditure from the state’s Consolidated Revenue Fund.
They emphasised the need to ascertain the budget passed by the National Assembly and received by Ibas.
The lawmakers said reviewing the budget was important because the 10th Assembly did not make any input into it.
The resolutions were taken after a voice vote by 26 members, excluding the Deputy Speaker, Dumle Maol, who was absent.
The Speaker said: “We never sighted the budget by the National Assembly, but only read it on the pages of newspapers. We don’t know its content. No member of the House is against the motions; there is need to ascertain what came into Rivers State and expenditure by the administrator”.
Amaewhule adjourned the sitting till 10 am on Monday.
The motion, as read by House leader, said: “Pursuant to the foregoing, we wish to respectfully pray this august House to resolve as follows:
“Commend the President and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for restoring democratic institutions in the state;
“Declare that the House would continue to abide by all the terms of the peace parley and the constitution of the Nigeria in the interest of peace and good governance of Rivers State;
“Call on the Governor of Rivers State Sir Siminalayı Fubara to forward the list of his nominees for appointment as commissioners into the state Executive Council in line with the Constitution and terms or the peace раrlеу;
“Call on the governor to commence the process of coming up with an Appropriation Law for the remaining part of the year to address current realities;
“Ascertain what transpired in the last six months with regards to award or contracts and expenditure from the consolidated revenue fund of the state.
“Immediately outline the legislative agenda for the remaining part or the third session of the 10th Assembly to reflect current realities;
“Make any other orders this House may deem necessary in the circumstance.”
The Speaker commended the sponsors of the motion, lamenting that the emergency rule prevented the legislative business of the House.
Amaewhule said: “But we thank God that we’re back. There’s need to abide by the terms of the peace parley. I listened to you all and no member is against the prayers, especially on commendation for the President, forwarding of commissioners nominees by the Governor and review of what transpired in the last six months and what happened to the budget.
“If the state needs to move forward, the issue of budget and others should be taken into consideration. The governor should liaise with us regarding the prayers.”

The Kano State Government has announced that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, will lead this year’s Eid-el-Fitr Durbar, even as it unveiled strict guidelines to prevent a breakdown of law and order during the celebrations.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The government said the decision, approved by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, followed credible intelligence reports indicating attempts by some individuals to create unrest during the Sallah period.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, the government said it remained committed to preserving Kano’s cultural heritage but would prioritise peace and security.
According to the statement, Hawan Idi (Eid Durbar) will be conducted by Emir Sanusi from the Kofar Mata Eid Ground through designated routes to Gidan Shettima, terminating at Kofar Fatalwa of the emir’s palace.
It added that Hawan Nasarawa would be held in a modified form without horseback displays, while Hawan Daushe, Hawan Fanisau and Hawan Dorayi have been suspended for the time being in the interest of public safety.
The government said all security agencies had been directed to intensify surveillance and ensure strict compliance with the directives before, during and after the festive period.
It urged residents to remain calm, law-abiding and cooperative with security agencies, while cautioning against the spread of unverified information.
The government further assured the public of its commitment to a peaceful and hitch-free Sallah celebration, wishing Muslims in the state a joyous Eid-el-Fitr.
The Durbar, a centuries-old cultural procession, has been thrown into uncertainty following conflicting statements from government officials on whether it will hold this year, given the unresolved legal battle between Sanusi II and Aminu Ado Bayero.
While Governor Yusuf reinstated Sanusi II in 2024, Bayero continues to contest his dethronement in court, leaving the emirship in dispute.
The government recently hinted that the stool controversy would soon be resolved.

Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has dismissed comments by human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, over what he described as transactional politics and activism.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
PUNCH Online reports that Sowore’s comment followed a viral video in which the activist criticised what he described as “transactional politics” among some regional agitators and influencers, accusing them of aligning with political actors for personal or material benefit.
In the video, Sowore appeared to reference Igboho, suggesting that his recent political positions, including support for President Bola Tinubu’s potential re-election bid, reflected what he termed “amala politics” — a colloquial expression often used to imply opportunistic or interest-driven engagement rather than principled activism.
Igboho, in a statement issued by his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Tuesday, criticised Sowore for allegedly describing his activism as “amala politics” in a recent viral video circulating on social media.
He described the comment as an inconsequential rant that should be ignored by the public.
Igboho argued that his agitation for improved security in the South-West and his support for the second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 were constitutional rights aimed at promoting the collective interests of the Yoruba people and the development of Nigeria.
He said, “We strongly reject the characterisation of Igboho’s activism as transactional. Such a myopic position misrepresents the intent and focus of our agitation on effective grassroots security in the South-West and Nigeria as a whole.
“How many protests did Sowore organise to push for my freedom? Sowore’s claim of fighting for the masses contradicts his alleged daily lodging expenses of N450,000 at a popular Lagos hotel.
“I cannot be compelled to endorse political figures such as Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, or even align with Sowore’s political platform. I have the right to make independent political decisions based on the security and collective interests of the Yoruba people.”
He added that Igboho’s advocacy prioritises addressing insecurity across Yorubaland, including killings of farmers, kidnappings along highways and attacks on traditional rulers and royal institutions.
Koiki, however, clarified that these concerns form the basis of Igboho’s movement rather than any ambition for political office or revolutionary leadership.
The statement added, “While Sowore has consistently promoted nationwide revolution as a pathway to leadership, Igboho’s approach is rooted in protecting lives, land and property within Yoruba territory. This agitation is a response to real and ongoing threats faced by communities in the region.
“Latest security incidents in northern Nigeria, including reported explosions in Maiduguri on March 16, 2026, also raise questions about the broader effectiveness of long-term revolutionary advocacy.
“We challenge Sowore to assess the situation in his home state of Ondo State, considering the growing cases of banditry, kidnapping and attacks on rural communities.”
The statement added that the impact of insecurity on vulnerable groups, including farmers, traditional rulers, women and children, had been severe, with several communities reportedly affected.
“These realities reinforce Igboho’s long-standing call since 2020 for localised security measures and stronger regional protection strategies.
“Labelling our agitation and efforts as ‘amala politics’ undermines the urgency of the security crisis and the legitimacy of grassroots agitation,” the statement concluded

The continuous detention of the former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked reactions from politicians and socio-political activists.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
DAILY POST reports that the former governor has been in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, over an ongoing investigation into alleged financial impropriety when he was governor.
El-Rufai had earlier spent two nights in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before he was picked up by the Department of State Services and then later handed over to the ICPC.
His continuous detention has sparked outrage among citizens who are calling on the commission to immediately charge the former governor to court.
Popular socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, said in a post on X that “holding a citizen indefinitely without trial” is impossible.
According to her, “that is not justice. That is not accountability. That begins to look like persecution.
“Every Nigerian, no matter how powerful or unpopular, has the right to a fair hearing. That right is not a favour from the government. It is a constitutional guarantee. If El-Rufai committed crimes, then prosecute him. Nigerians will support that. But what we must never
Support is a system where the government can detain anyone endlessly, simply because it can.
“Today, it may be El-Rufai. Tomorrow, it could be anyone else who speaks or acts in a way that those in power do not like. A democracy must be better than that.
“So the message is simple: charge him in court or release him. Let justice be done openly, lawfully, and transparently. That is the only way a nation that claims to respect the rule of law should act”.
Similarly, an activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, in an interview he posted on X on Wednesday, demanded that the former governor be charged to court immediately, condemning El-Rufai’s incarceration.
“No matter the allegations, I think he should be charged in a court of competent jurisdiction so that he can face the music.
“All these things currently going on don’t look tidy to me”, he said.
On his part, Paul Ibe, a media aide to the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, lambasted ICPC for not charging the former governor to court.
In a statement on his X handle, Ibe accused the Commission of taking sides with the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
He wrote, “The matter of the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai @elrufai has proven beyond measure that the ‘I’ in ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission) @icpcnigeria represents Illegal or Irresponsible.
“There’s nothing Independent about the Commission. They’re no different from all the other institutions of state that are standing on Tinubu’s mandate. The ICPC is nauseatingly pliable and has disgracefully made itself available in coercing members of the opposition into the ruling party”!
