Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has pledged to deliver 2.5 million votes for president Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Okpebholo spoke on Wednesday during campaign for the upcoming by-election in Esan Central.
The governor claimed that Nigeria is not as developed as America yet because there was no president like Tinubu in the previous administrations.
According to him, President Tinubu’s government has been able to fix the country’s economic problems, citing the recently assented tax reform bills.
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”.
DAILY POST reports that the governor has been rooting for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, since he was inaugurated as Edo governor in November last year.
