The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has demanded the resignation of the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, over alleged attempts to justify the high cost of fuel in the country under the Tinubu administration.

The APM, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, said the hike in the pump price of fuel in the country, at a time Nigerians are already overburdened economically, was a recipe for disaster.

Okpebholo last week stated that fuel price in Nigeria was better when compared to the United Kingdom (UK) where, according to him, the pump price was N300 per litre.

It added that the Edo State governor failed to tell Nigerians that in other oil-producing countries such as Libya and even Iran, which is currently at war, petrol is sold at an average equivalent of N41 to N52 per litre.
