News reports that Okpebholo made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

The governor said he is confident that Edo voters will turn out massively to deliver votes for Tinubu, insisting that the state could contribute up to 2.5 million votes in the next election.

He stated, “I will get the 2.5 million votes from Edo State, it’s already on the streets, everybody is coming to vote for Asiwaju on that day.”

When asked whether Tinubu’s support in Edo would be driven by his influence, Okpebholo said the President has been providing financial support to the state and other governors to carry out development projects.

He said, “Because of the work we are doing, because of the money Tinubu is releasing to us to work for him and that is what you are seeing on the street.

“It has never happened in Edo State like this before.”

The governor also recalled that Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi defeated Tinubu in Edo State during the 2023 election, attributing it to what he described as poor performance by the then-governor, Godwin Obaseki.

He added that voter sentiment in the state has now shifted, saying residents are more inclined to support candidates based on governance performance.

Okpebholo further argued that dissatisfaction with the previous administration influenced the last election outcome, but insisted that the current political climate would produce a different result in 2027.

The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Mohammed Umar, has denied a request from African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore to postpone his defence in a cyberbullying case brought against him by the Department of State Services (DSS). The court has ordered that proceedings continue on July 16.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Defence Request: Sowore’s lawyer, Raphael Adakole, requested an adjournment until after the court’s annual vacation, citing the lead counsel’s absence from the country.

  • Opposition to Delay: DSS counsel Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN) opposed the request, noting that the defence had already requested 10 previous adjournments. He argued that granting another two-month delay would contradict the court’s existing order for an accelerated, day-to-day hearing under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

  • Witness Testimony: During the proceedings, defence witness Deji Adeyanju testified regarding statements allegedly made by President Tinubu during a visit to Benue State, in which the President reportedly affirmed the democratic right of citizens to criticise and insult him without fear of suppression.

  • Cross-Examination: During cross-examination, Adeyanju acknowledged his previous role as Sowore’s lawyer and conceded that President Tinubu’s alleged remarks did not suggest that the law should be ignored if an individual commits an actual offence.
