Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Sunday attended a special church service at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt, to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
The governor was accompanied by his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, and other senior government officials.
The event marked Governor Fubara’s first public appearance alongside his deputy since the Rivers State House of Assembly initiated fresh impeachment proceedings against him on Thursday. The move represents the third impeachment attempt against the governor in less than three years, further escalating political tension in the state.
The Armed Forces Remembrance Day service was held in honour of Nigerian servicemen and women who lost their lives in the line of duty while defending the nation’s unity and sovereignty. Prayers were offered for the repose of the souls of the fallen heroes, as well as for the safety and protection of those currently serving in the armed forces.
Despite the renewed political pressure, Governor Fubara and members of his administration have so far remained silent on the allegations of gross misconduct leveled against them by the State House of Assembly.
