Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has compared the cost of petrol in Nigeria and England, saying a litre of fuel costs “about three thousand something” after conversion to naira.
Speaking while addressing concerns about the cost of petrol, Okpebholo said he was in London the previous week when he told his friend, “let’s go and buy fuel,” so they could compare the cost of petrol between Nigeria and England.
He said, “Let me tell you, after conversion, it’s about three thousand something for one liter of fuel.”
The governor added, “We are doing very well here. The president is stabilizing the economy. He’s an economist.”
Okpebholo also said, “I want to let them know that Edo is in a safe hand, Nigeria is also in a safe hand.”
He further described President Tinubu as not being “a supermarket man,” adding, “The supermarket people, let them wait. When it is time for supermarket people to rule Nigeria, if technocrats is not here again, then they will come.”
He made the remarks while thanking those who had taken their time to express concern over the road.
