According to a news article by the Vanguard, Okpebholo made this statement while speaking on the N70,000 minimum wage increase in Edo State.
According to the report, Okpebholo said, “we know that the state government is keeping billions of naira to buy votes and prosecute the governorship election, where he intends to impose his political stooge on Edo people. Unfortunately for him, the people are wiser, especially the civil servants in the state.”
“Civil servants deserve a better deal from the State Government and not a Greek gift to blackmail them to vote for a party that has failed the people of Edo State. There are no good schools, hospitals, roads or housing for civil servants. These are the real issues.”
