Ambassador Blessing Fubara Senior, brother of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared his intention to contest the governorship election under the Nigerian Democratic Congress, pledging to serve only one term if elected.
He made the declaration ahead of the party’s primary election, describing himself as a “ready, competent and energetic” candidate committed to restoring peace, stability and economic prosperity in Rivers State.
Fubara said the state had suffered economic decline and loss of dignity, calling for a collective political “uprising” to reclaim its lost standing.
He said, “I am addressing you today on the occasion of the Nigerian Democratic Party, Nigerian Democratic Congress Party primary elections across states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We are standing on a ground competent, reliable and reputable to restore the soul of Nigeria and restore the soul of River State. The case of the political happenings in Rivers State cannot be overemphasised. The people are feeling for this purpose.”
