Edo Pensioners Support Tinubu's 2027 Bid After Pension Reform
Pensioners in Edo State have committed to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027, following Governor Monday Okpebholo's decision to allow their return from the Contributory Pension Scheme to the Defined Benefits Scheme. This pledge was made during a solidarity visit to the Edo state government house in Benin City.
Asemota Osagie Andrew, Chairman of the Association of Retirees under the Contributory Pension Scheme, praised the governor for addressing their long-standing concerns regarding pension administration. He noted that the governor's approval came within two weeks of their engagement, contrasting it with ongoing struggles faced by retirees in Lagos State.
The association's Secretary, Aikpitanyi Felix, also commended the governor for his responsiveness to their grievances. Other members of the delegation echoed their support for the governor and the target of delivering 2.5 million votes for President Tinubu in the upcoming election.
Governor Okpebholo reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the welfare of Edo residents.
