Edo Guber: Gaffe by APC candidate Monday Okpebholo in viral video sparks reactions

A video of Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for Edo State, has gone viral after he made a significant blunder during a campaign speech.

In the video, Okpebholo mistakenly promised to “provide insecurity” to the people, a remark that has triggered widespread reactions online.

The slip of tongue, though unintended, has raised eyebrows, with many citizens and political commentators weighing in on the gaffe. Critics have used the incident to question the candidate’s preparedness for leadership, while supporters have downplayed the mistake as a simple verbal error.

As the video continues to trend, the APC and Okpebholo’s campaign team are yet to issue an official statement to clarify the mishap. Nonetheless, the incident has highlighted the importance of clear and accurate communication on the campaign trail, especially in a state like Edo, where issues of security are of significant concern.
