Blessing Fubara Enters 2027 Rivers Governorship Race on NDC Platform
Blessing Fubara, a Rivers State politician, has announced his plan to contest the 2027 governorship election. He will run under the banner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Fubara shares the same surname as Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Both men come from the Opobo/Nkoro local government area. Their direct relationship remains unconfirmed.
Success Jack, the NDC Chairman in Rivers State, confirmed that Blessing Fubara is one of the party’s governorship aspirants. Jack could not verify whether the aspirant is related to the current governor.
“Yes, he (Blessing Fubara Snr) obtained his expression of interest form yesterday in Abuja,” Jack said. “We are prepared and still preparing to win not only the governorship election, but all elections in Rivers State come the 2027 general election.”
Fubara spoke after the NDC National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, and other party stakeholders received him in Abuja. He described the NDC as a moving train. His decision to join the party, he said, is in the interest of Rivers State people.
He noted that the soul of Rivers State is at stake. The people must take back their state. He stressed that Rivers will be “OK” after the 2027 polls.
