Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has instructed the 18 Local Government chairmen in the state to put up 360 campaign billboards for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.
The governor gave the order on Friday, January 30, during the inauguration of the Edo State chapter of the National Renewed Hope Initiative, which was set up to promote President Tinubu’s agenda.
Governor Okpebholo said each council chairman should put up 20 billboards in their area to ensure that the President’s message reaches local communities, churches, mosques, and other institutions.
He praised President Tinubu for reforms in key sectors such as petroleum, security, education, and the economy, adding that it would be impossible to replace a performing president.
“It is not just about the agenda; it is about the ability to mobilize. The Edo people are ready. Nobody can beat Asiwaju’s record in governance. We cannot replace a man who is performing,” he said.
Okpebholo also expressed confidence that citizens across all age groups in Edo State would support the President’s re-election, saying that with 30 APC governors nationwide, the campaign is already strong and victory in 2027 is assured.
Earlier, the Edo State Coordinator of the National Renewed Hope Initiative, Sylvester Aigboboh, inaugurated senatorial, local government, and youth coordinators for President Tinubu’s 2027 campaign.
He encouraged the coordinators to promote the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration and intensify grassroots mobilization.
The initiative aims to strengthen party outreach, promote good governance, and consolidate the Renewed Hope Agenda. The appointed ambassadors are expected to act as links between the government, the party, and the grassroots while encouraging unity and inclusiveness within the APC.
The three senatorial leaders of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors are Joshua Uwagboe (Edo South), Hon. Odinose Okojie (Edo Central), and Hon. Abdul Lawani (Edo North). Eighteen others will coordinate activities across the 18 local government areas, with three youth coordinators appointed from each senatorial district.
