I Won’t Fail You! – Gov Okpebholo Promises Tinubu 2.5 Million Edo Votes In 2027

Governor Okpebholo made this commitment during an address at Okaijesan Town Hall in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area, where he welcomed a wave of defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Among the notable figures returning to the APC were former Edo APC Chairman Anselm Ojezua, current and former members of the Edo State House of Assembly, ex-local government chairmen, councillors, and prominent PDP leaders.

The Governor emphasized his dedication to ensuring that Edo residents continue to reap the benefits of democracy, stating that their votes in 2027 would serve as a symbolic gesture of gratitude for the President’s developmental impact across the state.

He reaffirmed the APC’s inclusive stance, calling it a platform open to all citizens focused on progress and development. According to him, the advancement of Edo State requires the collective efforts of everyone.

“I commend our brothers and sisters from the PDP who have chosen to join the APC. Their decision confirms that the PDP no longer holds ground in Esan Central—my constituency,” Okpebholo declared. “This marks the political demise of the PDP in this local government.”

He continued, “Their move is a clear vote of confidence in our vision and leadership. Come 2027, we will repay President Tinubu’s goodwill with 2.5 million votes from Edo State. The people have spoken through their actions—Edo is APC, and APC is the engine of our progress under the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

“I will not fail you,” he concluded. “I will remain steadfast in delivering sustainable development to our people throughout my tenure.”
