Edo State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) hails its performance in the state’s local government elections and says it is positioning for the 2027 elections. According to reports, the party commends what it describes as an overwhelming victory in the local government polls and links the result to its broader political prospects ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid.
In the hours following the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) issuing Certificates of Return to elected local government chairmen and councillors, Edo APC leaders publicly assured Tinubu of support in the form of 2.5 million votes. The party frames the pledge as evidence of its strength in Edo State and its ability to mobilize voters.
Across the two outlets covering the story, the central points are consistent: Edo APC celebrates the local government election outcomes, references the certificates presented by EDSIEC, and reiterates its intention to secure 2.5 million votes for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
