Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholor, has vowed that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election in Edo State.
In an interview captured in a viral video, Okpebholor pledged to resign if the outcome of the 2027 election does not favour the president in the state.
He asserted that the people of Edo are fully prepared to support Tinubu, citing the projects his administration has implemented since the All Progressives Congress (APC) assumed power in the state.
Okpebholor maintained that there is effectively no opposition in Edo, emphasising widespread backing for the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections.
“There is no opposition here in Edo; everybody is for Asiwaju in this state. Tinubu is more popular than me in Edo State. If he doesn’t win the presidential election in Edo in 2027, I will resign,” he said.
His statement comes amid preparations ahead of the upcoming 2027 elections.
