The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has strongly criticized Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, for comparing Nigerian petrol prices to those in the United Kingdom, demanding that he resign over what the party deemed an insensitive justification for the rising cost of fuel. In a statement, the APM condemned the skyrocketing price of petrol in Nigeria, which currently stands at over N1,500 per litre, comparing it to the UK's average price of about N3,000 per litre when converted to Nigerian currency.
The party argued that this comparison, without considering the significant differences in income levels and purchasing power between Nigerians and British citizens, was inappropriate and called for a resignation from Okpebholo.
