Monday Okpebholo, governor of Edo, says the state will deliver 2.5 million votes to ensure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Okpebholo spoke at the Okaijesan Town Hall in Irrua, Esan
central LGA on Monday, where he received defectors from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the votes would be a show of appreciation for the
progress recorded in the state under his watch.
“I want to commend the members of the PDP who have made the
decision to join our great party, the APC,” he said.
“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.
“Their decision to align with our party is a clear
endorsement of our direction and leadership.
“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.
“I will not fail you. I will continue to work diligently to
ensure that Edo enjoys sustained development under my watch.”
On Saturday, Inuwa Yahaya, governor of Gombe, said his state
was ready to follow Tinubu “to the battlefield in blindfolds” — ahead of the
2027 poll.
“For what he has done, is doing, and will do, Gombe people
will follow him to the battlefield blindfolded,” the governor said.
“We will work for his success in 2027. By God’s grace, his
re-election is assured.”
