Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo says he is supportive of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms and believes Nigeria will eventually reach a stable phase he describes as a “cruising level.” He made the remarks while addressing an event in Edo State, urging Nigerians to remain patient with the ongoing reform efforts.
Okpebholo also points to fuel prices abroad, saying petrol costs about N3,000 per litre in the United Kingdom. The outlets report that his comparison is used to argue that current hardships are temporary and that reform outcomes will improve living conditions over time.
Both sources frame his comments as backing the federal government’s approach, without presenting direct responses from the federal administration, critics, or independent figures on costs or the pace of reform impact. The articles largely overlap in the key details: where he spoke, his tone of support, and the reference to UK fuel pricing as part of his justification for patience.
