Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has declared that it is impossible to replace a performing president like Bola Tinubu, saying the president’s bold and courageous reforms are already transforming Nigeria.
Gov. Okpebholo made the declaration during the inauguration of senatorial, local government area, and youth coordinators for President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election.
The event held at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, along Airport Road, Benin City.
Commending Tinubu for reforms in key sectors such as petroleum, security, education, and the economy, the governor urged Edo people to support the president’s return to Aso Rock for a second term.
“I promised Mr. President 2.5 million votes. Our party Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, added to it, the women leader also added, and now we have 3.9 million votes. Edo people must deliver on this promise,” Gov. Okpebholo said.
He expressed confidence that Edo citizens across all demographics, including the elderly and youths, are ready to mobilise massively for the president.
“It is not just about agenda; it is about capacity to mobilise. Edo people are prepared. Nobody can beat Asiwaju’s record in governance. We cannot replace a man who is performing,” he added.
Gov. Okpebholo further stated that with 30 APC governors nationwide, Tinubu’s re-election campaign is already strengthened, stressing that victory in 2027 is assured.

He charged local government chairmen to erect at least 20 billboards each and ensure the Renewed Hope message reaches grassroots communities, religious institutions, churches, and mosques.
“The religious groups must hear this message. Churches and mosques must be involved. Religious groups will be inaugurated soon,” he said.
The three senatorial leaders of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Joshua Uwagboe, Odinose Okojie, and Abdul Lawani, thanked Gov. Okpebholo for the confidence reposed in them and pledged to take the campaign message to the grassroots to ensure Tinubu’s re-election.
Eighteen others were also inaugurated to coordinate activities across the local government areas, while three youth coordinators were appointed from the three senatorial districts.
