A portrait of Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has reportedly been removed and replaced with that of Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.), a former Chief of Naval Staff, in a development that has sparked widespread speculation.
The reason for the replacement remains unclear, but it has fueled political discussions amid ongoing tensions within the state’s leadership. The move has raised questions about whether it was a routine administrative decision or part of a broader power struggle in the state.
Neither the Rivers State Government nor officials linked to the change have issued an official statement on the matter. However, political observers are closely watching for further developments.
