Okpebholo made this statement while receiving a group of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members who recently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). He emphasized that the APC is an inclusive party focused on advancing Edo State’s growth.

“I want to commend the members of the PDP who have made the decision to join our great party, the APC,” he said.

“This defection is a testament to the fact that the PDP has lost relevance in Esan Central, my own constituency. Today marks the political end of the PDP in this local government.

“Their decision to align with our party is a clear endorsement of our direction and leadership.

“In 2027, we will reward President Tinubu’s love for Edo with 2.5 million votes. The people have spoken through their actions. Edo is APC, and APC is the vehicle of our development under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I will not fail you. I will continue to work diligently to ensure that Edo enjoys sustained development under my watch.”
