Sources confirmed to Channels Television on Friday that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, who has been away from the state, is expected to return soon.

His anticipated return follows months of political tension involving Fubara, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule.

In the wake of the crisis, President Bola Tinubu had suspended Governor Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and members of the State Assembly for six months.

On Wednesday, however, the President announced the end of the emergency rule in Rivers. While the House of Assembly reconvened on Thursday, Governor Fubara was noticeably absent at the Government House, despite hundreds of supporters gathering to welcome him.
