The governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Rivers State, Blessing Fubara, has said he does not have a political godfather, stating that his only backing is God.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Friday night, Fubara said he holds different political perspectives compared to his brother, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
He also dismissed suggestions that his ambition is merely an extension of his brother’s political project or that he is acting as a placeholder.
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.
