Monday Okpebholo, Governor of Edo State, has explained why the people of the state will vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Okpebholo said Edo people would vote for Tinubu because of
the money he’s releasing to state governors.
He disclosed this during an interview on Channels
Television’s Politics Today, where he explained how the state would give Tinubu
2.5 million votes in 2027.
The governor assured that the people of the state would come
out en masse to vote for Tinubu to make up for the figure.
He said: “I will get the 2.5 million votes from Edo State,
it’s already on the streets, everybody is coming to vote for Asiwaju on that
day.”
The governor also disclosed that former presidential
candidate, Peter Obi defeated Tinubu during the 2023 election in the state due
to former governor Godwin Obaseki’s failure.
“Peter Obi defeated Tinubu last time because the then
governor (Obaseki) was not working, he was in the PDP and people want to voice
out that this governor is not working and anybody coming we are going to do it
the other way around,” he said.
Asked if the people of Edo State will vote for Tinubu
because of Okpebholo, the governor responded: “Because of the work we are
doing, because of the money Tinubu is releasing to us to work for him and that
is what you are seeing on the street.
“It has never happened in Edo State like this before.”
