Okpebholo: Even If They Kidnap All Of Us, There’s No Vacancy In Aso Rock by iwaeda(op): 8:31pm On Jun 09

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has alleged that some persons are sponsoring insecurity to distract President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign for Local Government Council elections in Edo South Senatorial District, the governor said, “They can even kidnap all of us—yes, there is no vacancy in Aso Rock.”

He said insecurity had suddenly increased in the country, alleging that it is being orchestrated to tarnish the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.

Okpebholo said promoting insecurity would not guarantee the perpetrators seats in the Senate, House of Representatives, or the presidency, as there is no vacancy in Aso Rock.

“There is no vacancy in Aso Rock. What is happening today is the handiwork of the opposition.”

“They have failed. Have they not failed? Is it by kidnapping children? Then who are you going to govern? There will be nobody for you to govern. So let them give us peace so that we can rule well,” Okpebholo said.

The governor said the President had done more for the country than his predecessors.

He noted that the impact of removal of the fuel subsidy had been seen and felt in various projects dotting the state.

He commended those, who scaled through the party’s primary election to emerge as candidates for the forthcoming council elections.

He said their victories would signal the possibility of delivering the 2.5 million votes pledged to President Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking also, the party’s chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, described the APC as the only viable party in the state.

He urged the candidates to take the message of the governor’s developmental strides to the nooks and crannies of the state, and to replicate it in their various local government areas.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that highpoint of the event was the official unveiling of the Edo South candidates of the party by the governor, including Ogbeide Ihama as – senate, Dr Paddy Iyamu -Oredo federal constituency, Omorede Igbinedion -and Ovia Federal constituency among others (NAN)

Louder!

We the disciples and followers of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) know the opposition is behind the current insecurity in Nigeria.

Former Governor Ayo Fayose already gave us an insight.

They only reinforcing our support for His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Pathetic. The killings in Yelwata, Benue state and Plateau where Tinubu only stopped at the airport is the work of the opposition too. Well, he should know. He was the opposition in 2015. The killing of Nigerian soldiers in Kaduna today by "repentant bandits" is also the work of the opposition. He was fast to impose a state of emergency in Rivers but is powerless against the opposition that wants to spoil his government.

Okpebolo is 100% correct. Good guys, at no stage in history, have ever won capitulating to terrorists.

Personally sad innocent Nigerians are collateral damage for these desperate born-to-rule marauders sponsoring terror but good will prevail over evil in the end.

DSS should arrest that Monday who can't count 1,2,3.
He should provide the names of those behind the insecurity.

Are you indirectly indicting Tinubu to be one of those that sponsored insecurity when he was in opposition in order to paint Jonathan’s government black, if this is the latest line of defence/ narrative?

Almost all APC governors, Tinubu supporters are saying the same thing.

APC Tinubu supporters are confessing that they used same strategy to remove Goodluck Jonathan from power.

Perhaps, they didn't disarm them after they removed Goodluck. So APC should call their boys to order.

Whatever the case may be.

If over 240 million people cannot collectively decide the leaders that will push the nations best interest first, but will rather blame the weather, their parents, God, religion, tribalism, and make up every excuse asides their own laziness and cowardice then they truly deserve everything they get.

Tell that to the Marines.. that's a very ignorant and mischievous opinion.
Sell that propaganda to your fellow APC prisoners of conscience.

Besides it not only by do do do.
Being a governor goes beyond what you do.

A state CEO should not be a person of low IQ, low confidence, poor in language, dull, incoherent, socially backward and then com ugly join am!

Also when you hear "Edo nor dey carry Las"

It's. statement that portrays smartness, sharpness and intelligence of Edo people,,which the state Governor is supposed to be an embodiment of.

But this current Governor is anything but intelligent and smart.

F9 candidate.
