Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has made his first public appearance since the Rivers State House of Assembly initiated impeachment proceedings against him.
The governor was seen on Sunday attending a church service held to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt. His deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, alongside other senior government officials, was also present at the service.
The appearance marked the first time Governor Fubara and his deputy have been seen in public since the House of Assembly commenced fresh impeachment proceedings against him on Thursday.
The church service was organised to honour Nigerian servicemen and women who lost their lives in the defence of the country’s unity and sovereignty, while prayers were offered for the repose of their souls and the safety of those still in active service.
The latest impeachment move represents the third attempt to remove Governor Fubara from office in less than three years, further deepening the political tension in Rivers State.
Despite the renewed crisis, the governor and members of his administration have remained silent on the allegations of gross misconduct raised by the lawmakers.
