BREAKING: Fubara vacates Govt House as sole administrator prepares to take over

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has vacated the Government House in Port Harcourt amid the ongoing political crisis in the state.

According to sources, Fubara moved out on Wednesday morning, making way for the newly appointed Sole Administrator, Admiral Ekwe Ibas (Rtd.), who is set to assume duty.

A visit to the Government House on Wednesday revealed a calm atmosphere, with security operatives maintaining order. At least three armored personnel carriers were stationed at the main entrance, underscoring the tense political situation in the state.

A security source said there was change of guard at the seat of power as all the security details of the Government House have been removed and replaced.

“The governor left Government House this morning and the new administrator is yet to resume. We are expecting him any moment from now. The security details in Government House have been reshuffled. I can tell you that everywhere is calm and nothing is happening as we speak now.”

In the meantime residents of Port Harcourt are going about their normal businesses as there is no sign of break down of law and order.

President Bola Tinubu had declared State of Emergency on Tuesday, citing the vandalisation of pipelines and inability of stakeholders to resolve the political crisis in the state despite a series of interventions.
