PDP accuses Okpebholo of misleading Tinubu by using TikTok-style content in his ”No Vacancy in Aso Rock”.
The Edo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized State Governor Monday Opkebholo’s ”No vacancy in Aso Rock” declaration, dismissing it as a TikTok-style content strategy aimed at misleading President Tinubu.
The party also claimed that the statement was intended to deceive the All Progress Congress (APC) leadership at the national level.
Governor Opkebholo, while receiving defected Local Government Chairman from 17 councils who switched from PDP to APC Government House in Benin City on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, declared that there would be no vacancy in Aso Rock for the 20227 presidential election.
In response to this declaration, the PDP leadership in the state stated that the event at the Festival Hall of Edo State Government House could best be described as TikTok content for the entertainment of the President and the APC leadership in Abuja.
Nehikhare further stated that all duly elected local government council chairman under the PDP in Edo Sate remain firmly in place.
”He added that the state governor, who is reportedly losing influence in Edo Sate’s political landscape, has resorted to deceptive tactics in a desperate bid to mislead president Bola Tinubu and the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC).
”It is quite unfortunate and shameful that his situation has degenerated to the point where he now has to assemble impostors while trying to assure the President and his party leadership that he remains in control.
“But the reality is that he has completely lost his hold on the political reins in Edo State.
“To set the record straight, contrary to the misleading claim made in the statement by Fred Itua, Okpebholo’s Chief Press Secretary, no single chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decamped. All duly elected local government council chairmen under the PDP in Edo State remain fully intact. See attached photo.
“The people whom Itua referred to as ‘chairmen’ in his press statement are the illegal appointees of Okpebholo, whom he is trying to impose on the various local government councils.
‘‘Whoever Okpebholo is trying to deceive or impress should be wary, as these are complete falsehoods, and there have been no political gains for him and his party in Edo State, as was incorrectly portrayed in the misleading press statement.
“What happened today in the Festival Hall of Edo State Government House can at best be described as content creation for the viewing pleasure of Mr. President and the APC leadership in Abuja,” he said.
