Edo APC Chair Threatens Opposition Over 2.5M Votes
At a campaign rally in Edo State, Tenebe, the Edo APC Chair, issued a stark warning to anyone who might obstruct the party's objective of securing 2.5 million votes for President Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general election. He stated that those who stand in the way of this goal would face "AK-47 fire." Tenebe made these remarks as Governor Monday Okpebholo campaigned across the 18 Local Government Areas to rally support for Tinubu.
He argued that the number of votes a state can deliver influences its development prospects, including the potential creation of additional local government areas and states. Tenebe also referenced the previous success of the governor, who mobilized 2,156,800 votes during the last local government elections, countering critics who questioned the feasibility of achieving the 2.5 million vote target.
