Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has declared that he would resign from office if President Bola Tinubu fails to secure victory in Edo State during the 2027 general elections.
The governor made the statement on Friday during an interview, where he highlighted ongoing development projects in the state and expressed confidence in Tinubu’s chances at the polls.
According to Okpebholo, the projects being executed across Edo would influence voter support for the President in the next election cycle.
“Edo people have not even thanked Tinubu. How they will thank him is through their votes.
“The various projects across the state are the things that will speak for Tinubu and he will win here. Bet me, if he doesn’t win, I will resign as governor.
“There’s no election here for him. I’m a politician, who under-studied Chief Aneni. My style of politics is not thuggery but grassroots,” he said.
The governor’s remarks signal strong political backing for the President ahead of the 2027 elections, as political alignments begin to take shape across the country.
