Rivers State sole administrator, Vice admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) and his wife Theresa has held a thanksgiving service to mark the end of his six-month emergency rule, barely a week left before the expiration of the six-month emergency rule in.
The service which took place on Sunday at the Ecumenical Centre, Abonnima Wharf, Port Harcourt was attended by vice admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), his wife Theresa, permanent secretaries, local government chairmen, heads of security and paramilitary agencies, traditional rulers, board members and captains of industry.
Conspicuously absent at the thanksgiving service were the suspended governor, Sim Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
On March 18, 2025, President Tinubu had declared a six-month state of emergency in Rivers state to prevent the outbreak of a political crisis.
The declaration led to the suspension of Governor Sim Fubara, his deputy, and all members of the state’s House Assembly.
