Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his love for Edo people, assuring him of continued support ahead of the 2027 Presidential polls. Governor Okpebholo stated this in his goodwill message during a food outreach by the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), through its Social Investment Programme. The Chief Press Secretary to Edo State Governor, Fred Itua, in a statement, said the event was held at the New Festival Hall of Government House, Benin City, Edo State, where Governor Okpebholo assured President Tinubu of 100 percent votes from the state in the 2027 presidential election. “The entire people of Edo State are very appreciative of this kind gesture of food outreach and donations of different food items to the vulnerable in Edo State,” Governor Okpebholo said. “We are happy in Edo State, and the people are beginning to see and enjoy a new dawn. Look at food items all over the place in this hall, all thanks to the president and his wife for this great initiative that Edo people are benefitting from today.” Itua stated that the RHI food outreach began on March 8, 2024, and has benefited seven states, including Edo, Kano, Benue, Nasarawa, Ekiti, Cross River, and Gombe. He added that the initiative has made significant progress in supporting women and youths for the betterment of their lives. The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, represented by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, advised beneficiaries not to sell the food items but to make good use of them for the benefit of their families. Itua noted that items distributed included noodles, semovita, and pasta, among others. Other guests at the food outreach included the Secretary to Edo State Government, Musa Ikhilor; Deputy Chief of Staff, Pius Alile; and leaders of market women, among others.
