I’m Not Desperate To Return To Office, My Spirit Has Left ‘Brick House’-Gov Fubara
The governor of Rivers State, Mr Siminalayi Fubara, who was suspended from office two months ago, has declared that he is not desperate to return to the Government House, Port Harcourt which is called ‘Brick House’.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Fubara disclosed this during the service of songs held in honour of late elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, in Port Harcourt, on Sunday.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had on March 18, 2025, declared all elected political office holders at the state level in Rivers State suspended for six months.
By extension, all members of the State Executive Council were also sent packing.
This was sequel to the declaration of state of emergency in the state.
Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution empowers the president to declare a state of emergency under specific conditions.
Retired Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas was also appointed as Sole Administrator of the state.
The suspended governor appears to have taken his mind off the political crisis in the Treasure Base of the Nation as he disclosed that he is not desperate to return to office while adding that he is looking better.
‘Can’t you see how better I look? Do you think I am interested in it? Do you even know if I want to go back there? My spirit has already left that place long ago’ Fubara submitted in the viral video taken during the event in question.
He had reportedly done this in reaction to speakers at the event who had spoken in angry tones, condemned his suspension and demanded reversal of the decision to suspend him from office.
He was said to have however distanced himself from their remarks, describing their submissions as personal opinions while noting that such comments are not likely to promote peace.
‘Not everything is by Oshogbe, I want everybody to focus, there are some fights you don’t fight’ he submitted while urging the attendees of the event to focus on the tributes made to Chief Edwin Clark who lived a selfless life advocating for the Niger Delta region-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
