Fresh political developments have emerged in Rivers State following reports that Blessing Fubara, a kinsman of Siminalayi Fubara, has joined the 2027 governorship race under the platform of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to reports, Blessing Fubara obtained the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms in Abuja just hours before Governor Fubara announced his withdrawal from the APC governorship primaries.
Confirming the development, Rivers State NDC Chairman, Success Jack, stated that the party is preparing strongly for the 2027 elections and is optimistic about its chances across the state.
The development has further fueled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, especially amid reports that some loyalists of Governor Fubara are already moving toward the NDC platform.
With tensions and shifting alliances continuing to reshape Rivers’ politics, the race for 2027 is gradually becoming one of the most closely watched political battles in Nigeria.
