Governor Monday Okpebholo, a member of the All Progressives Congress, has been positioning himself as a vocal ally of President Bola Tinubu since taking office in Edo State following a keenly contested 2024 governorship election. His latest appeal for residents to back Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027 comes amid the administration's push to defend its economic reforms, including fuel subsidy removal and naira float policies, which have drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians grappling with rising costs of living.
Both Channels TV and Punch report the governor's remarks were made in the context of a visit to a traditional ruler in Edo State, with Okpebholo citing federal support for state-level development projects as justification for his endorsement. Neither report details specific reform outcomes or development projects referenced by the governor, nor do they indicate whether the appeal is part of a broader APC mobilisation strategy ahead of the 2027 polls.
