Addressing the supporters, Fubara described the reception as deeply humbling, acknowledging that he had been briefed about the massive turnout at the Government House a day earlier.
“I’m really humbled by what I saw at the airport today. I was also briefed with photography of what happened here yesterday. That reception really humbled me; it showed love, confidence, and solidarity,” he said.
The governor, who is expected to fully resume office following the suspension of the state of emergency in Rivers, reassured the people of his commitment to delivering good governance.
“I want to assure you that we will, by the grace of God, continue to do those things that made you love us,” he added.
