Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has vowed to reward President Bola Tinubu’s love for the people of the state with 2.5 million votes in 2027.
Naija News reports that Okpebholo made the promise while speaking at Okaijesan Town Hall in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area, where he received some defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Some of the key political figures that returned to the APC were former Edo State APC Chairman Anselm Ojezua, members of the Edo State House of Assembly, former local government chairmen, councillors, and former PDP leaders.
Okpebholo said he would continue to work to ensure that the people of the state enjoy the dividends of democracy, stressing that their votes for the President would be a token of their appreciation for the developmental strides in Edo State.
The Governor stated that the APC in Edo remains an open and inclusive platform for all citizens committed to progress, adding that the state’s development requires collective input.
He said, “I want to commend the members of the PDP who have made the decision to join our great party, the APC. 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.”
