APC Edo Chairman Pledges Unwavering Support to Governor, Projects 3.5M Votes for Tinubu in 2027
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has declared its absolute allegiance to Governor Monday Okpebholo, with ambitious projections for the 2027 presidential election. State Chairman Emperor Jarret Tenebe made these assertions during a recent empowerment event in Benin City organized by the City Boy Movement, a pro-Tinubu organization.
In a series of striking declarations, Tenebe emphasized the party’s unconditional support for Governor Okpebholo’s leadership, using an unusual metaphor of “a truck without brake, gear or sense” to illustrate their level of commitment. He explained that the party structure would execute the governor’s directives without question, relying on the guidance of his appointed special advisers and assistants.
“Whatever the governor tells us to do, we can’t argue,” Tenebe stated, reinforcing the metaphor by comparing their loyalty to an unstoppable descending truck. This demonstrates the APC’s unified stance under Okpebholo’s leadership in Edo State.
Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, Tenebe confidently announced that Edo State has already pledged 3.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu’s potential re-election bid. “Even before your arrival and before the minister began telling us what the president has done for the nation, we don’t need to be convinced,” he affirmed during the gathering.
The chairman’s bold statements at the City Boy Movement event underscore the APC’s early positioning for the 2027 electoral landscape, though the election remains several years away. The declared commitment of 3.5 million votes represents an ambitious target for the state’s political machinery.
The declarations come as the APC continues to strengthen its political structure in Edo State under Governor Okpebholo’s leadership, signaling the party’s strategic preparations for future electoral contests.
