Blessing Fubara, the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Rivers State, has firmly stated that he does not have a godfather, but only God the Father. He made this declaration while appearing on Arise Television’s Prime Time program on Friday night.
Fubara emphasized that his vision and focus for the state are not influenced by any political godfather, unlike the perception some people have. He addressed rumors linking his political aspirations to Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State, clarifying that they hold different political ideologies and perspectives.
“I don’t have a godfather; I have God the Father,” Fubara said. “If my ambition were based on the narratives being spread, it would mean I lack a clear vision and focus. My brother and I have distinct political views. Nigerians and the world witnessed what transpired between him and his party. We are in a challenging period in Rivers State, with various narratives being pushed to shape public opinion. However, we remain focused on rescuing the soul of Rivers State.”
The candidate further stressed that his campaign is driven by a genuine desire to serve the people, not by any external influence. He urged Rivers residents to look beyond the distractions and support a movement that prioritizes the state’s welfare.
