APC Chairman Praises INEC for Fair Edo Election and Hails Okpebholo’s Victory

The Chairman of the Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jeret Tenebe, has expressed the party’s hope that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will continue conducting elections with the same transparency and fairness as seen in the recent Edo governorship election held on Saturday.
Speaking to journalists on Sunday evening in Benin, Tenebe remarked that if INEC maintains this standard in future elections, it could lead to a much-improved electoral process for Nigeria.
Tenebe described the Edo governorship election as the fairest he had ever witnessed, rejecting accusations that the APC rigged the election in favour of its candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo.
He emphasized that the election was conducted with integrity and that the results truly reflected the will of the Edo people.
He praised Okpebholo, now the Governor-elect, stating that his leadership would usher in significant development for Edo State.
Tenebe emphasized that Okpebholo’s administration would focus on empowering both women and youths, as well as fostering unity across the state.
He expressed optimism that Okpebholo’s tenure would bring lasting positive change, ensuring progress in various sectors, especially for marginalized groups.
Addressing the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, Tenebe attributed it largely to the influence of Governor Godwin Obaseki, whose administration had become unpopular among the electorate.
He argued that the PDP’s loss was a clear reflection of Obaseki’s dwindling support, stating, “Nobody wants anything associated with Obaseki anymore.”
Tenebe went on to reiterate the party’s commitment to fair elections, saying, “Our party cannot rig elections because we are not INEC.
What we saw on Saturday was the fairest election ever conducted in this state.
We are praying that INEC continues like this, and if they do, Nigeria will finally see a proper and transparent electoral process.”
He concluded by describing the victory as one for the entire state, adding, “This victory means so much to us.
It’s a win for all Edo people. Okpebholo’s leadership will empower the state’s youth, uplift women, and promote respect for traditional institutions, uniting Edo in progress.”
The APC chairman’s remarks reflect the party’s confidence in the fairness of the election, and its belief that Okpebholo’s leadership will steer the state towards growth and development, following what has been hailed as a landmark election.

“I’ll Keep Giving Tinubu Haters High Blood Pressure” – Wike Says

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.
According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”
He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.

PDP Says Tinubu Wants to Kill Other Parties and Make Nigeria a One-Party Country

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to resist any move towards a one-party system, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to silence opposition and undermine democracy. In a statement issued ahead of its upcoming National Convention set for August 2025 in Kano, the PDP said the event would be a turning point to elect new national leaders, strengthen the party’s internal structure, and prepare to challenge the APC in the 2027 general elections.
The party stressed that this convention would focus on electing capable leaders through a process rooted in merit, transparency, and fairness. It said this was necessary to confront what it described as the APC’s mismanagement of the country. The PDP accused the APC of using threats, intimidation, and interference in opposition parties to weaken Nigeria’s democratic system. It also blamed the ruling party for worsening economic conditions, growing poverty, and rising insecurity, calling the situation “unprecedented hardship” under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The opposition party urged Nigerians not to allow democracy to be replaced with authoritarian control. It encouraged citizens to unite behind the PDP and support efforts to bring back true democratic governance in the country. According to the statement, the Kano convention will help reawaken the PDP and prepare it to lead a renewed fight for a better Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace and prosperity.
The party concluded by calling on its members, stakeholders, and every patriotic Nigerian to stand firm, support the party’s mission, and help build a stronger front against what it described as the APC’s anti-people policies. “Together, we can stop the APC’s plans and return Nigeria to a path of progress, safety, and economic stability,” the PDP said.
