Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has said the 2.5 million votes he promised to deliver for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections will come from projects executed in the state.
The Governor, who spoke during an inspection tour of the ongoing ultra-modern market in Jattu, Etsako West LGA, said that the project being constructed by his administration would boost trade, commerce, and the overall economy of Edo State.
According to him, the project was also a way of appreciating residents’ support for his administration, the APC, and President Tinubu.

Governor Okpebholo also linked the market and other ongoing projects to his administration’s political goal ahead of 2027.
“People wonder how we will get the 2.5 million votes, but they forget that this government is doing a lot for the Edo people.
“Our votes will come from the numerous projects we have embarked upon for the benefit of our people.
“We are not just building a market but a modern standard market for our people in Edo North, Edo State, as well as Nigerians who will benefit from this project when completed.
“This is a central market for all of us, and we are maintaining high standards of construction. We have different floors in this market. A lot of work has been done in the basement; the structure is very strong and solid, and the construction is massive.
