The Rivers State governorship candidate of the NDC, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that he has no political godfather, insisting that his success and political journey are guided by God alone.

Fubara made the remarks while addressing supporters and party members, where he emphasized his commitment to serving the people of Rivers State without being controlled by any individual or political interest group.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

According to Fubara, leadership should be driven by the needs and aspirations of the people rather than by personal loyalties or political sponsorship.

He stated that his focus remains on delivering good governance, promoting development, and improving the welfare of residents if elected into office.

The candidate added that public service requires accountability, transparency, and dedication to the interests of citizens.

Fubara urged political actors and supporters to focus on issues that affect the lives of ordinary Nigerians rather than engaging in personal attacks or divisive rhetoric.

He said discussions should center on economic growth, infrastructure, education, healthcare, job creation, and other areas that directly impact communities.

Political observers note that calls for issue-based campaigns have become increasingly common as parties prepare for future elections.

Party supporters welcomed Fubara's comments, describing them as a reflection of his confidence and determination to chart an independent political course.

Many attendees at the event expressed optimism about the NDC's prospects and pledged continued support for the party's candidates.

Analysts say statements emphasizing independence from political godfathers often resonate with voters who desire greater accountability from elected officials.

Fubara reiterated his vision for Rivers State, highlighting the importance of economic opportunities, improved public services, and sustainable development.

He pledged to work with stakeholders across different sectors to address challenges facing the state and unlock its potential for growth.

As political activities continue to gather momentum, candidates across the country are expected to outline their plans and priorities for voters.

For Fubara, the message remains clear: his political ambition, he says, is rooted in service to the people and faith in God rather than reliance on political godfathers.

The coming months are expected to see increased engagement between candidates and voters as preparations for future elections continue.
