The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has alleged that those who fought against former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, are ganging up against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking on politics during the flag-off of the Benin-Asaba palliative rehabilitation, Okpebholo said there is no vacancy in Aso Rock and that “you don’t change a working president”.
“People that want to contest now against Tinubu have all ruled in one way or the other, either in low capacity or in higher capacity. While they were there, they fought former President Goodluck Jonathan because he wanted to build Almajiri schools to educate youths and Almajiri so that there would be no problem like what we are having today. But they fought him and made sure he lost the election,” he said.
According to him, the same set of people are still ganging up again to fight President Tinubu so that he would not come back. “There is no vacancy in Aso Rock. Asiwaju’s eight years must be completed,” he addad.
Okpebholo, who did not mention the names of those ganging up against Tinubu, however, advised them not to waste their money in the name of contesting the election, as politicians would only collect their money and would not vote for them.
Continuing, he said, “Our president is not a supermarket man, but supermarket people want to rule Nigeria now, even when there is no vacancy in Aso Rock.
“Let them wait. When it is the turn of supermarket people, and if there is no technocrat, they can contest for president. If others had performed and done what Asiwaju is doing today, he wouldn’t have much work to do,” he said.
