The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has confirmed that Governor Siminalayi Fubara will return to office on September 18.
State APC Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, told reporters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, September 2, that while the party is willing to work with Fubara, it will continue to hold him accountable.
“The governor who was suspended will return to office on September 18. The APC will work with him when he returns,” Okocha said.
He added, “There are states where the governor and assembly members are in different parties, so we are going to work with him.

“However, that will not take away our right to criticise him when he does wrong. But for us, the LG chairmen will work with him, except that we will not agree to vicious policies.”
First Daily recalls that on March 18, President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara for six months after declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State.
The deputy governor and the state House of Assembly were also suspended, while a sole administrator was appointed.
