Suspended Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara says he is no longer interested in returning to office, urging supporters to embrace peace amid ongoing political tensions in the state.
- Fubara distanced himself from calls for his reinstatement during a memorial for Edwin Clark.
- He said his “spirit has left” the role, indicating a personal detachment from the office.
- He warned that some supporters’ actions have worsened the crisis, urging restraint.
Speaking at a service of songs in Port Harcourt, Fubara appeared calm, reflective, and detached from the political struggle. His remarks suggested fatigue with the turmoil and a shift in focus away from the seat of power, prioritizing peace and legacy.
If Fubara doesn’t seek reinstatement, what future awaits Rivers’ governance, and will this signal a broader shift in how political loyalty is measured?
