The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has called for the resignation of Edo State Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo over his comparison of petrol prices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. In a statement by National Publicity Secretary Abubakar Yusuf, the party condemned the rise in petrol prices to over N1,500 per litre and criticised the governor for using the UK price to justify fuel costs in Nigeria. The APM accused Okpebholo of ignoring the disparity in earnings and purchasing power between citizens of both countries. The party described the price increase as a brutal assault on citizens by the Tinubu administration.
