Elders in Rivers State have expressed concern about the location of their suspended governor, Sim Fubara. During a press conference in Port Harcourt on March 21, they revealed that even his close family members have been unable to reach him since his suspension by President Tinubu on March 18.

A former governor of the state, Rufus Ada George, spoke on behalf of the elders. He emphasized that the people of Rivers State deserve to know Fubara’s condition. They are demanding that he appear on television to confirm that he is safe and well.

The situation has sparked anxiety among residents, as many question why Fubara has not spoken publicly since his suspension. The elders insist that transparency is necessary and urge the government to clarify the governor’s status.

The uncertainty surrounding Fubara’s whereabouts has raised political tensions in the state. Many await an official statement or public appearance to confirm his well-being.

Speaking on behalf of the elders, a former governor of the state, Rufus Ada George, said

‘’The whereabouts of Similaye Fubara, the governor of Rivers state, is unknown to Rivers people. He has not spoken to anybody. We have not seen him. We are demanding that Fubara should come on TV if he is alive because we can observe that  Nyesom Wike can go to any length and Mr President is backing him. They can do anything to this young man. Rivers people demand to know his whereabouts and to know what is happening to him”
