VIDEO: Edo State Governor Hails President Tinubu, Says Nigeria Would Have Been Like US If It Had Two Presidents Like Tinubu

Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that Nigeria would have achieved a level of development similar to the United States if it had produced two presidents with his leadership qualities.

Speaking at a campaign event in Esan Central for the upcoming Edo Central by-election, Okpebholo lauded Tinubu’s leadership style and economic reforms as transformative.

He pointed to the recently signed tax reform bills as a key example of how the president is working to stabilize the nation’s economy.

The governor described the reforms as a crucial step towards progress.

Okpebholo said: “I, your son, have promised Mr. President 2.5 million votes.

2.5 million votes, I promised that by the grace of God, come 2027, we’re going to deliver that vote to Mr. President.

“The president we have today, if Nigeria had had two of such presidents, Nigeria would’ve been like America.”
