Petrol costs over N3,000/litre in UK, Nigerians are enjoying — Okpebholo

Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo revealed that petrol in the United Kingdom costs over N3,000 per litre, while Nigerians are benefiting from a significantly lower price. Speaking at the "Operation Rescue Benin-Asaba Road" event in Edo State, Okpebholo compared fuel prices in the UK and Nigeria after a visit to London. He claimed that the Nigerian economy is being stabilised by the President, who is described as an economist.

Okpebholo also expressed support for the ongoing economic reforms in Nigeria, which he likened to an aircraft reaching cruising altitude before offering passengers food. The governor emphasized that Nigeria was soon to reach the "cruising level" and stressed the importance of maintaining confidence in President Tinubu's leadership.
