Speaking in Uromi on Saturday during the official launch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign for the upcoming August 16 by-election in Edo Central Senatorial District, Okpebholo declared the forthcoming poll as a litmus test ahead of the 2027 elections.
“This by-election is just a preview of what’s to come in 2027. The opposition will be completely erased from Edo politics even before then. Everyone will join the APC because of the visible progress and development we’re delivering across the state,” the governor said.
He expressed confidence in the APC’s candidate, Hon. Joseph Ikpea, stating that he would succeed him in the Senate. Okpebholo boasted that the APC would sweep all five local government areas and win all 51 wards in the senatorial district.
“I’ve heard that only the candidates of the other parties haven’t defected yet. My advice? Don’t waste your resources. Join the APC. And if they give you money, take it — it’s your money — but vote for us,” he said.
He reiterated the party’s commitment to delivering 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the next general election, describing the by-election as “already a done deal.”
The rally also featured a wave of high-profile defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC. Notable defectors included Alhaji Esiwele Musa, Abraham Osazuwa, Sunny Ejie, and Robert Okoneme, alongside several grassroots leaders from the 51 wards in the district.
APC State Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, welcomed the new entrants, assuring them of full inclusion and equal treatment.
“We are one united family. The same respect and responsibilities accorded to long-time members will be extended to all newcomers,” Tenebe said. “Your joining us reinforces our mission. You bring experience, structure, and renewed grassroots energy.”
He urged party members and Edo residents to continue supporting Governor Okpebholo in his people-oriented governance drive.

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
