Fubara Missed His Appearance at the Government House Following Tinubu's Restoration

In a surprising turn of events, Governor Siminalayi Fubara's scheduled resumption of duties on Thursday Night Football was postponed due to ongoing talks regarding important appointments in Rivers State.

Sources close to the governor have confirmed that Fubara was in Abuja and would resume work on Friday instead. The negotiations, which extended past Thursday Night Football, involve unspecified parties, and the search results do not provide specific information about who these parties are or their roles in the state government.

Meanwhile, allegations have been made that Governor Fubara's predecessor, Nyesom Wike, is insisting that the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff, and the majority of the commissioners that Fubara will appoint should come from his camp. However, Wike has distanced himself from these allegations, stating that he has no candidate for any position in Fubara's administration and will not interfere with the new governor's administration.

On Thursday Night Football, Wike appeared on Channels Television's 'Politics Today' programme to address these allegations. He reiterated that he will not impose any candidates on Fubara and will not interfere with his administration.

Thousands of supporters who had gathered to welcome Fubara at the Rivers State Government House were left disappointed when he did not appear on Thursday Night Football. Fubara's aide has confirmed that the governor's six-month emergency rule in the state ended on March 18, and although the exact date for his resumption of duties is not specified in the article, it is expected to happen today.

This development comes as no new information about the Rivers LG election or the political future of Tonye Cole and Rotimi Amaechi has been provided. The ongoing negotiations and the delay in Fubara's resumption of duties have raised questions about the direction Rivers State will take in the coming months.
