PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria — Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has returned to the state capital after six months of suspension under emergency rule. The return comes two days after President Bola Tinubu lifted the emergency rule imposed in March following a deepening political crisis. On the same day, members of the Rivers House of Assembly reconvened for the first time since the emergency began. In June, President Tinubu convened a reconciliation meeting with Fubara, Wike, Assembly Speaker Martin Amaewhule, and other stakeholders. During his tenure as administrator, Ibas inaugurated the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) chaired by Michael Odey.
