Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, says Nigeria would have been like the United States of America if it had produced two presidents with the leadership qualities of incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Wednesday at a campaign in Esan Central for the Edo Central by-election, Okpebholo praised Tinubu’s reforms as transformative. “The president we have today, if Nigeria had had two of such presidents, Nigeria would’ve been like America,” he said.
He credited Tinubu with stabilising the economy through tax reforms, citing newly assented tax bills. Okpebholo pledged 2.5 million votes for Tinubu in 2027, promising to deliver on the figure. The governor has been mobilising support for the APC ahead of the upcoming elections.
