Tinubu’s Second Term Non-negotiable – Okpebholo - Politics - Nigeria

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State declared President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027 as “non-negotiable,” urging traditional rulers from the South-South region to support Tinubu’s re-election.
Okpebholo praised Tinubu’s economic policies aimed at revitalizing Nigeria’s economy and increasing state allocations for development projects.
The governor highlighted the importance of traditional institutions in national development and called for unity in backing Tinubu, whom he described as “our own” from the South-South zone.
The statement sparked mixed reactions online, with critics urging Okpebholo to focus on his governance responsibilities in Edo State instead of nationwide political campaigns.
