Contrary to some reports, the Edo State chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Jarret Tenebe, said yesterday that he has no problems with the national leader of the party, Senator Adams Oshiomhole. He said Governor Monday Okpebholo is still the leader of the party in the state.
Speaking to journalists at his home in Benin City, Tenebe said the party plans to hold ward, local government, and state congress meetings without any conflicts.
He added that he will become the chairman of the party in the state to start his term, after completing the term of his predecessor, Colonel David Imuse (rtd), who left to run for governor in the 2024 election.
Tenebe also talked about how the party will get 3.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He said the party is working hard to get more people to join as members and also to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for continuous voters registration.
According to him, “The leader of the party in the state is the Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo. There have been insinuations that Senator Adams Oshiomhole and I are not working together, and that is very far from the truth. The only point where we differed was during the primaries. I insisted that the right thing should be done, and once I push for what is right, I do not renege until the proper thing is done. However, we have all gone past that stage.
“After the primaries, we had the election, we campaigned together, we won together, and since then we have continued to work together. There are absolutely no cracks on the wall.”
On the coming congresses, he said: “I have been acting, and this will be my first term to be confirmed as substantive chairman, having served under the caretaker arrangement. I also do not think the party will change the winning team. We started the fight to ensure that we had a good candidate and a good government in Edo State, and we achieved that.
“The next step is to support the government to succeed. As party chairman, it is my responsibility to stand with the governor, defend him, and ensure that he delivers the dividends of democracy he promised the people.”
Tenebe said the 3.5 million votes promised President Bola Tinubu are not a mirage, stating that “by next week, we will receive all the Labour Party LGA chairmen into the APC. We have also held meetings with 16 PDP LGA chairmen who are defecting. If you look closely, you will see that the opposition has already collapsed.”
“We analysed the voters’ register and discovered that Edo State has about three million registered voters, many of whom are not currently living in the state. I have been travelling across the country to meet Edo people who registered at home, encouraging them to return during the election. We have also concluded plans with donors to provide logistics to bring them back.”
