Core loyalists of Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara, including former members and leaders of the disbanded Simplified Movement have besieged the Government House gate in Port Harcourt to receive him.
A former Speaker of the dissolved illegal three-man House of Assembly, Victor Oko-Jumbo, was among Fubara’s loyalists, who led others to wait for the governor.
They were said to have come from different parts of the 23 local government areas to wait for the governor’s arrival in Port Harcourt.
One of them was heard saying: “We have come to possess our possession”, as many other supporters kept trooping into the area.
The arrival time of the Governor could not be ascertained and it was not also known whether Fubara would stop over at the gate to address them.
Women in various colourful outfits, dancing troupes, youths and some elders were seen in jubilant mood as they patiently waited for him.
