Isaac Fayose Criticises Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo Over petrol Prices, Arguing That Income Differences Make UK And Nigeria Prices Difficult To Compare

“See Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, making m0ck£ry of himself. According to him, he travelled to London.

He said someone took him to a petrol station to go and buy petrol, he want to know how much is petrol in the UK.

And when he got there, he realised that petrol in the UK is ₦3,000 a litre compared to petrol in Nigeria, which is ₦1,500.

So he is coming back home with good news for you, to tell you that, no, your own petrol is cheaper than the petrol in the UK, forgetting to think. You can see people that forced themselves on the people. They don’t think.

Forgetting to think that minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000. That means in a month, with your salary in Nigeria, you can only buy 49 litres of petrol.

But minimum wage in the UK is £13 to £15 an hour. That means in a month in the UK, you can make up to £2,000, which is about ₦4 million.

Now imagine the kind of people that are ruling you. He can’t even process it. He just wants to go to a petrol station and be throwing jabs at you. Those are the people you allow to forcefully take over the affairs of your life.

In the UK, there’s free medical care, the roads are good, there’s 24-hour light and security, but he didn’t factor all those ones…”
