Rivers State governorship aspirant of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Ambassador Blessing Fubara, has appealed to his supporters and party faithful to remain calm and patient as the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conclude the collation and verification of results from the recently concluded governorship primary election in the state.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Fubara expressed gratitude to his supporters for their steadfast commitment and overwhelming support throughout the primary process, describing their dedication as the driving force behind his vision for a united, progressive, and prosperous Rivers State.
The governorship hopeful urged party members, stakeholders, and residents of the state to maintain peace and avoid actions capable of undermining the democratic process while awaiting the official outcome of the exercise.
“I therefore call on all my supporters, party faithful, stakeholders, and the good people of Rivers State to remain calm, peaceful, and positive as the NDC National Secretariat and INEC complete the collation and verification of results,” he said.
Fubara noted that neither the NDC nor INEC had officially declared the outcome of the primary election, cautioning supporters against relying on rumours and unverified reports circulating on social media and other platforms.
According to him, the exercise was conducted in line with the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act, stressing the importance of allowing due process to take its course.
He expressed confidence in the integrity of the party and optimism that the final result would reflect the wishes of delegates who participated in the election.
The aspirant also called on his supporters to remain disciplined, avoid provocation, and refrain from spreading unconfirmed information, emphasizing that unity remains the movement’s greatest strength.
Reaffirming his commitment to the ideals of the NDC, including transparency, service, and good governance, Fubara assured supporters that the quest for a better Rivers State remains on track.
“The journey continues, and victory for Rivers people is certain,” he declared.
The NDC is yet to officially announce the outcome of its Rivers State governorship primary election.

The President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Chief Oliver Patrick Ityohegh, has reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, stressing the importance of supporting vulnerable people and improving community welfare beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day.
Ityohegh stated this during the organisation’s Cauldron Night and Award Presentation held to commemorate its 2026 Humanitarian Day celebration, theme: “Humanity First: Advancing Hope, Dignity and Community Well-being.” organised by the DNKI Abuja Chapter.
He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.
According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.
He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.
Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.
He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.
Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.
He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.
Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.
He also recalled previous interventions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which included the distribution of food, clothing and educational materials, noting that the chapter intended to scale up such initiatives in the coming year.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding members and distinguished non-members in recognition of their contributions to humanitarian service.
