Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, has vowed to resign from office if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not secure a victory in Edo State during the 2027 presidential election.
He asserted that Edo State is prepared to deliver 3.5 million votes to the incumbent president.
Okpebholo made this vow during an interview on African Independent Television, AIT.
He rolled out development projects in the state, saying that Edo people will appreciate Tinubu through the ballot come 2027.
“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.
