On Sunday, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, attended a special church service to observe the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt.

The governor was joined by his Deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, along with other senior officials from the government.

This service marked the first public appearance of Governor Fubara and his Deputy since the Rivers State House of Assembly initiated new impeachment proceedings against the governor on Thursday.

This recent development marks the third attempt to impeach Governor Fubara within less than three years, further intensifying the political climate in the state.

The Armed Forces Remembrance Day service was conducted to honor Nigerian servicemen and women who lost their lives while serving the nation and safeguarding its unity and sovereignty.

Prayers were also offered for the eternal rest of the fallen heroes and for the safety and protection of those presently serving in the armed forces.

In spite of the renewed political pressures, Governor Fubara and his administration have not publicly addressed the allegations of gross misconduct made against them by the State House of Assembly.
