Rivers Women Disgrace Ibas Ibok Ete’s Wife In Port Harcourt, Demand Return of Lady Valerie Fubara
Tensions flared in Port Harcourt on Friday as hundreds of Rivers State women walked out of an empowerment programme organized by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, in protest over political tensions involving the suspended wife of the state governor, Lady Valerie Fubara.
The event, which was part of the “Renewed Hope Initiative” spearheaded by the First Lady, was disrupted when participants began chanting “Lady Valerie!” and exited the venue in a dramatic show of discontent.

The protest appeared to be a reaction to the recent political developments in the state, including the sidelining of Lady Valerie Fubara and the appointment of a Sole Administrator.
Efforts to calm the crowd by the wife of the Rivers State Sole Administrator, Mrs. Ibas Ibok-Ete, were unsuccessful, as the women refused to be addressed and continued to express their dissatisfaction.

Eyewitnesses described the walkout as peaceful but emotionally charged. Protesters demanded the reinstatement and recognition of Lady Valerie Fubara, calling her a symbol of unity and grassroots engagement in the state.
The incident highlights deepening political divisions within Rivers State and raises questions about the reach and reception of federal initiatives at the state level amid ongoing political unrest.
Neither the First Lady’s office nor Lady Valerie Fubara has released an official statement as of press time.
