Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has boasted that he would deliver Edo State to President Bola Tinubu during the 2027 presidential election, vowing to vacate his office if he fails to do so.
He made the assertion in a now-trending interview captured on social media.
According to the governor, the entire people in Edo State are ready to vote for the president, citing projects that his administration has executed since the All Progressives Congress (APC) took over from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Speaking in the viral video, he said, “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.”
President Tinubu, who came into office in 2023, is expected to seek a second term in office during the 2027 presidential election.
