Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has vacated the Government House in Port Harcourt along with his family and security details.
Fubara reportedly left the seat of power on Wednesday morning, following the announcement of the state of emergency by President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday.
However, security at the Government House remains sparse, although two Armoured Personnel Carriers that were seen on Tuesday night in front of the premises are still stationed there with a handful of security operatives.
As of the time of filing this report, normal activities were still ongoing in Port Harcourt and its environs.
Meanwhile, the Sole Administrator appointed by President Bola Tinubu to oversee the state for the next six months, Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (retd.), had yet to assume office as of 12:50 p.m. on Wednesday.
However, there are indications that preparations were underway to receive Ibas as about 15 soldiers were seen inside the premises ahead of his expected arrival.
