Buhari Hails APC’s Okpebholo on Edo Gubernatorial Victory
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his congratulations to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the newly elected governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo.
The congratulatory message was delivered on Sunday through Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu.
Buhari praised the significance of the electoral victory, describing it as a pivotal moment for Edo State.
He expressed optimism that the triumph would not only unite the incoming administration but also create an opportunity for both the winners and the opposition to collaborate for the greater good of the state.
He emphasized the importance of fostering cooperation to strengthen democracy and ensure continued development in Edo.
In his statement, Buhari lauded the APC and Senator Okpebholo for their historic achievement, offering his best wishes for a new era of progress in the state.
He highlighted the need for all political actors, regardless of the election’s outcome, to work together toward the collective advancement of Edo.
Buhari also commended the law enforcement agencies for their role in maintaining peace throughout the election process.
He acknowledged the dedication of the election officials, recognizing their continuous efforts to improve the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic processes.
The former president expressed hope for Nigeria’s future, noting that as Africa’s most populous nation, the country’s steady progress under democratic rule is vital.
He emphasized the broader significance of democratic success, not just for Edo but for the country and the African continent as a whole.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
