Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has pledged to secure 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election as a mark of appreciation for the developmental strides recorded in the state under the current administration.
Governor Okpebholo made the declaration on Monday while addressing a crowd of supporters at Okaijesan Town Hall in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area, during a reception for thousands of defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“In 2027, we will reward President Tinubu’s love for Edo with 2.5 million votes,” Okpebholo declared.
He noted that the mass defection to the APC was a clear indication of the people’s trust and endorsement of the party’s leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The people have spoken through their actions. Edo is APC, and APC is the vehicle of our development under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” the governor said.
He assured party loyalists and the new members of his commitment to inclusive governance and development, adding, “I will not fail you.”
