Ganduje Hails Okpebholo’s Victory as Well-Deserved in Edo
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has congratulated Monday Okpebholo on his victory as the Edo State Governor-elect.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje described Okpebholo’s triumph as well-deserved and a clear reflection of the trust the people of Edo have placed in the APC’s leadership.
Ganduje noted that this victory symbolizes the confidence the electorate has in the progressive vision of the Bola Tinubu-led administration.
He emphasized that Okpebholo’s success was a result of the faith placed in his ability to lead Edo State toward a brighter future.
The chairman also highlighted the hard work and determination of APC members and supporters who played crucial roles in ensuring a free, fair, and peaceful election process.
The APC national leader expressed optimism that Okpebholo’s leadership would usher in a period of rapid growth, peace, and development in Edo State.
He assured that the party would provide full support to the new administration, working hand-in-hand to realize the vision of a prosperous and transformed Edo for the benefit of all its citizens.
Ganduje extended his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu and the Progressive Governors Forum for their unwavering support throughout the election, noting that the victory was a win not only for the APC but for the entire Edo State.
He praised the dedication and collective effort that brought about this outcome, saying it signified a major step forward for the party and the state.
According to the official results from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Okpebholo, 54, garnered 291,667 votes, defeating Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who secured 247,274 votes.
Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) came in third with 22,361 votes.
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.
