A large crowd of supporters has converged at the VIP wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Rivers State, awaiting the arrival of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Sources confirmed on Friday that the governor, who has been away from the state, is expected to arrive soon following the end of the six-month emergency rule in Rivers announced by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday.
Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and members of the state House of Assembly were suspended in March after a political crisis involving the governor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, and Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
Although the House of Assembly resumed sitting on Thursday, Fubara did not appear at the Government House, despite hundreds of supporters who had gathered to welcome him.
More details are expected as events unfold.
