In a significant political development ahead of the 2027 elections, Blessing Fubara, the elder brother of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has officially announced his candidacy for the governorship position. He will be contesting under the banner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), a party led by former Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson.
One-Term Pledge
According to reports from Vanguard on Thursday, May 28, Fubara made a solemn vow to serve only one term if elected. This pledge is intended to reassure voters of his commitment to a focused and limited tenure in office.
The Guardian also confirmed the development, highlighting the growing political dynamics in Rivers State as the 2027 elections approach. More details are expected to emerge as the campaign unfolds.
This announcement adds a new layer to the political landscape in Rivers State, with the Fubara family name now directly in the electoral contest.
