Residents and supporters of the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, have taken to the streets of Port Harcourt to protest his suspension and demand his reinstatement.
The protesters began the march from Aggrey Road, Old Port Harcourt Township, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
According to reports from The Punch, the protesters who were clad in black carried placards with various inscriptions such as: “Together we stand for Governor Sim Fubara”, “We want back our Governor, we all voted for”, “Governor Fubara is the pride of Rivers People”.
This is the latest in a series of anti and pro-protests that have rocked Rivers state since March 18, when President Bola Tinubu declared a State of Emergency in the state and suspended Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and members of the state’s House of Assembly.
Remember that Fairview had reported prayer sessions which were held in 23 local government areas on Easter Monday to pray for the reinstatement of the suspended Governor.
The protest is the latest resistance to President Tinubu’s installation of a Sole Administrator and removal of the elected Governor.
