“Tinubu Fixed a Failed Economy” — Edo Governor Praises President’s Bold Reforms Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with rescuing Nigeria from a failed economy inherited from past administrations. Speaking during the APC campaign rally in Esan Central LGA ahead of the August 16 Edo Central Senatorial By-election, Okpebholo lauded Tinubu’s policies for stabilizing the nation’s finances within just 26 months in office. The governor highlighted the President’s direct support, including the approval of ₦130 billion for the Ekpoma–Auchi–Okpella Road — a feat he claims the PDP could not achieve in eight years. He assured Edo residents of massive road construction once the rains subside, citing Tinubu’s promise of reimbursement. The rally drew top APC leaders, including Secretary to the State Government Umar Musa Ikhilor, Edo Central Senatorial Leader Gen. Cecil Isekhaigbe (rtd), and other party stakeholders. “Tinubu met a bad situation, but he has worked hard to fix it. Edo people should support him — and me — in 2027,” Okpebholo declared. #TinubuEconomy #EdoPolitics #Okpebholo #RenewedHope #APC #NigeriaNews #EconomicReform

False Alarm! Asue Ighodalo Debunks Defection Rumors — PDP Stalwart Still in the Race for Edo’s Future The Team Asue Media Organisation (TAMO) has strongly denied reports suggesting that Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the PDP governorship candidate in Edo State, has dumped the party. In a statement released on Monday by TAMO spokesperson Erhabor Emokpae, the group dismissed the viral claims as a “baseless fabrication” designed to mislead the public and create confusion ahead of the upcoming National Assembly by-elections. “Dr. Ighodalo remains a loyal member of the PDP,” the statement clarified. “We urge the public to disregard this false narrative and the mischief behind it.” TAMO reaffirmed that Ighodalo is unwavering in his commitment to a prosperous and secure Edo State, and continues to strengthen the PDP as a platform that serves the people. It’s worth noting that Ighodalo contested in the September 2024 governorship election, where he was defeated by APC candidate, Governor Monday Okpebholo. Despite the loss, Ighodalo remains an influential figure within the PDP and Edo’s political landscape. #AsueIghodalo #EdoPolitics #PDP #TAMO #FakeNewsAlert #PoliticalUpdate #Edo2025
