Monday Okpebholo, the current Edo State governor elected under the APC political party, has sparked outrage online following his presentation of the Appropriation Bill titled “Budget of Renewed Hope for a Rising Edo” at the hallowed chamber of the Edo State House of Assembly.
The proposal was captured in a viral video where Monday Okpebholo found it hard to pronounce the billionaire figure ahead of the 2025 budget, igniting reactions from popular US-based media personality Tunde Ednut and other social media users.
In the video, the governor stuttered while attempting to pronounce the N605 billion figure. However, he pushed through and continued with his presentation despite the slip-up.
Tunde Ednut, a popular Instagram blogger, took to social media to share the viral video on his page. While mocking Okpebholo for struggling to pronounce the budget figure, Tunde wondered if the governor will be able to read out Roman figure.
He wrote, “If we come give am Roman Figure nko?”
The video quickly went viral on his page, capturing the attention of many including singer Davido’s personal logistics manager, Israel ‘Afeare’ DMW.
He commented, “INEC SELECTED GOVERNOR 😆😆😆😆”.
