Okpebholo to Tinubu: Be rest assured of 2.5m Edo votes in 2027
Edo Governor Okpebholo Promises 2.5 Million Votes for President Tinubu in 2027″
Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has pledged to reward President Bola Tinubu’s dedication to the people of Edo State with a commitment of 2.5 million votes in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Speaking at the Okaijesan Town Hall in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area, where he welcomed defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Okpebholo emphasized his continued efforts to ensure that the citizens benefit from the dividends of democracy. He noted that their votes for President Tinubu would serve as a token of gratitude for the developmental strides made in the state.
“The APC in Edo remains an open and inclusive platform for all citizens committed to progress,” he stressed, underscoring the need for collective input in the state’s development.
Okpebholo commended the former PDP members who decided to join the APC, describing their defection as evidence of the PDP’s declining relevance in Esan Central. “This defection is a testament to the fact that the PDP has lost relevance in Esan Central, my own constituency. Today marks the political end of the PDP in this local government,” he remarked.
He further asserted, “In 2027, we will reward President Tinubu’s love for Edo with 2.5 million votes. The people have spoken through their actions. Edo is APC, and APC is the vehicle of our development under the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
The gathering saw key political figures, including former Edo State APC Chairman Anselm Ojezua, members of the Edo State House of Assembly, former local government chairmen, and other prominent leaders from the PDP, joining the APC.
