Rivers State governorship candidate for the New Democratic Congress (NDC), Blessing Fubara, has publicly refuted assertions that his political aspirations are supported by current Governor Siminalayi Fubara. He stated unequivocally that his sole source of support is God, dismissing any claims of a political “godfather.” This declaration aims to distance himself from perceived political patronage and establish an independent campaign identity. Fubara’s comments address speculation regarding potential influence from the governor, which could impact public perception of his candidacy. He seeks to present himself as a candidate driven by personal conviction and divine guidance. The statement was made in response to growing discussion surrounding potential endorsements and power dynamics within Rivers State politics. Fubara hopes to appeal to voters seeking a leader unaligned with established political networks.
