Political commentator Isaac Fayose has challenged Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo's comparison of fuel prices in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. Okpebholo claimed that a litre of fuel in the UK costs around N3,000 after conversion to naira, suggesting that President Bola Tinubu's administration is successfully stabilizing Nigeria's economy.
However, Fayose pointed out that such a comparison fails to consider the disparity in income levels between workers in the two nations. He stated that while Nigeria's minimum wage is N70,000, UK workers earn significantly more, with the UK minimum wage ranging from £13 to £15 per hour, which equates to about N4 million monthly. Fayose further argued that UK workers benefit from free healthcare, well-maintained roads, and stable electricity, making the people in the UK better off than those in Nigeria.
He concluded by saying that the UK citizens are the ones who are being forced to take over the affairs of the lives of Nigerians.
