The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Monday said its overwhelming victory in the local government election showed the party was well-positioned ahead of the 2027 general election.
The state APC Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, stated this at the party secretariat while briefing journalists on the outcome of the local government poll.
Tenebe said the party secured 2,158,600 votes, adding that it was ready to deliver 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
He lauded the conduct of the local government election, adding that the elected chairmen and councillors would not be sworn in until September, when the tenure of the current occupants would expire, in line with the statutory provisions governing local government elections and inauguration.
