 Edo PDP suffers major blow as political titan, Irehovbude leads supporters to join APC


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost one of its most formidable figures, Chief (Amb.) Tom Irehovbude, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State.


Chief Irehovbude, the Egbonghon of Ekpoma, a revered grassroots mobilizer from Esan West Local Government Area, led thousands of PDP loyalists into the APC.


Addressing party faithful and supporters, Chief Irehovbude cited the transformative leadership and developmental strides of Governor Monday Okpebholo as the driving force behind his move.


“I am joining the APC because I have seen what Sen. Monday Okpebholo is doing-touching lives, initiating meaningful development, and bringing governance closer to the people. I believe in leadership that works, and I am ready to contribute to that vision”, he explained.


Lauding the governor’s people-centric approach, Irehovbude praised the APC’s governance style as “a breath of fresh air” and pledged unwavering support for both Governor Okpebholo and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, promising to deliver his political base for the APC in the coming polls.


“This is a journey for the good of our people. I will work with the APC to ensure progress and prosperity reach every corner of our land. And come 2027, we shall stand by President Tinubu to ensure continuity of purposeful leadership,” he said.


The defection, widely seen as a strategic win for the APC, underscores the shifting dynamics of Edo politics, particularly in the central senatorial district, with party leaders hailing the development as a reaffirmation of the governor’s growing popularity and a signal of more high-profile defections in the months ahead.
