Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has vowed to deliver 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Wednesday during campaigns for the forthcoming by-election in Esan Central, Okpebholo said Nigeria had lagged behind countries like the United States because previous administrations lacked a leader like Tinubu.
He praised the current administration’s handling of the economy, pointing to the recently assented tax reform bills as evidence of progress.
He said, “I, your son, have promised President Tinubu 2.5 million votes. If Nigeria had two presidents like President Tinubu, Nigeria would be like America.
“I promise that by the grace of God, come 2027, we will deliver those votes.
“He has been able to stabilize our economy through tax reform”.
