‘You Can Criticize Me But Edo Is For Tinubu’ – Okpebholo Tells Critics

Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has maintained that President Bola Tinubu would win the 2027 presidential election in the state despite criticism from opposition politicians.

Naija News reports that Okpebholo made this known when the Minister for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, joined him to inspect some legacy projects of his administration.

Okpebholo said projects are scattered across the state, showing President Tinubu‘s support for his administration, and questioned why the Edo people would not vote for him.

The Governor assured the Edo people that they would continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy through practical governance.

He said, “You can see the jubilation and cheers from the people assuring us that 2027 is sure. 2.5 million votes is not negotiable, my critics can go ahead to critise me but Edo is for president Tinubu.

“Edo has never been loved before, Tinubu has shown us love. Every kobo you see us spend on this project and others are coming from president Ahmed Bola Tinubu, tell me how Edo people will not vote for him.

“You can’t come here before because of the gully. Hopefully before the end of this year the people of this area will be driving on a smooth road. I will continue to talk because I am working for Edo people. The 2.5 million votes are settled.”
