What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo stated that petrol costs more than N3,000 per litre in the United Kingdom. He made this claim while defending the economic reforms and intervention in Nigeria, arguing that Nigerians were paying less for petrol than motorists in the UK. The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) subsequently called for Okpebholo’s resignation, arguing that comparing Nigerian prices to the UK's was misleading due to differences in income levels and public transportation systems.
