I visited Tinubu to take permission before resuming — Gov Fubara

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has disclosed that he met President Bola Tinubu to officially inform him of his return after his suspension was lifted.

The governor, who was recently reinstated after six months of emergency rule in the state, was at the State House on Monday evening.

Speaking with journalists shortly after the closed-door meeting, Fubara said he had a father-and-son discussion with the president on the way forward.

According to the governor, he sought Tinubu’s advice on certain matters to prevent another round of crisis in the state.

“You are aware that the suspension was lifted midnight, 17th and I resumed on the 19th. I’m here to tell Mr President that I’m back and have also resumed my responsibility as Governor of Rivers State.

“It was a father and son discussion, telling him thank you and the areas he should guide me properly, so we don’t have a crisis again,” he said.
