The Rivers State NDC governorship candidate, Blessing Fubara, has declared that he has no godfather but God.
In a Friday night interview with Arise Television’s Prime Time, Fubara stated that his political views differ from those of his brother, Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State.
Additionally, he rejected claims that he is only serving as a stand-in or that his desire is just an extension of his brother’s political endeavour.
He said, “I don’t have a godfather but I have God the father. You would also agree with me that if my ambition is determined by the grounds you are mentioning, it would mean I have no clear vision or focus for what I am working toward.
“My brother, Nigerians, and indeed the wider world saw what happened between him and his party. We have different political ideologies and individual perspectives.
“It’s a trying moment for us in Rivers State and there are all sorts of narratives. They come with different narratives and try to set up a perspective for the people to run with but we are focused with our eyes on the ball that the sole of Rivers State must be rescued.”
BACKSTORY…
Recall that that Fubara Snr formally joined the 2027 governorship race in May 2026 after picking up the NDC’s expression of interest and nomination forms.
His emergence came shortly after his brother, Siminalayi dropped out the 2027 governorship race just after he picked the APC interest form.
His entry comes against the backdrop of intense political turmoil in Rivers State, particularly the long-running feud between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor and political mentor, Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
