Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has gone to Church to express gratitude to God following his reinstatement.
Fubara attended his first Sunday church service at Saint Paulās Anglican Church in his hometown of Opobo, Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.
He who was accompanied by his wife, Valerie, and a cross-section of stakeholders, acknowledged Godās faithfulness to his family, the state, and the nation.
Sharing photos of the church service via his š handle, Fubara wrote, āIn thanksgiving and to glorify God Almighty for His boundless mercy, divine guidance and steadfast love, my wife and I had the honour of worshipping at our home church, St. Paulās Cathedral, Opobo Kingdom.
āThe service was also a moment to sincerely appreciate the church and the good people of Rivers State, whose fervent prayers remain our reservoir of strength and courage on this journey of service.
āAs we commemorate International Peace Day today, we will continue to walk together in harmony, guided by faith, unity and a sense of purpose. To God alone be the glory.ā
The service comes after the lifting of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
President Bola Tinubu in March ordered emergency rule following political instability that ensued as a result of a clash between Fubara and his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
After his reinstatement, Fubara, during a state broadcast, described the emergency rule period as āenormously challengingā but said he willingly abided by the declaration to allow room for peace to be restored.
