A powerful delegation from the Kalabari ethnic nationality visited Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, on Tuesday, February 11th, on a historic solidarity visit to express deep gratitude for his administration’s impactful projects and appointments.
The visit showcased the unity and strong support the Governor enjoys within the Kalabari region.
The delegation, which comprised representatives from Degema, Asari-Toru, and Akuku-Toru LGAs, included prominent traditional rulers, chiefs, elders, opinion leaders, stakeholders, and political figures.
Speaking at the sidelines, the Executive Chairman of DELGA, Hon. Dr. Agiriye Monima Harry, emphasized the significance of the visit, stating that Governor Fubara’s achievements have earned him a special place in the hearts of the Kalabari people.
