Social media has become a focal point for public frustration, with many Nigerians voicing their unease over the governor’s continued absence. One user, @metalistix, wrote on X:
“Where is Governor Sim Fubara?
Since news of his reinstatement broke, Rivers State has waited anxiously to hear from Governor Sim Fubara. Hours have passed, yet neither his face has been seen nor his voice heard. This silence is unusual, especially at a time when the people he governs deserve clarity, reassurance, and direction.”
The post went on to highlight the constitutional implications of Fubara’s absence, noting that the Nigerian Constitution outlines clear procedures for succession should a governor be unable to discharge the duties of office.
“There can never be a vacuum in power,” @metalistix stated. “Leadership demands presence, and constitutional order cannot be toyed with. The people of Rivers State deserve to see and hear from their governor at this critical moment.”
The user further urged the governor to address the public before the end of the day to ease tensions and restore confidence in the state’s leadership.
