[VIDEO] ‘Okpebholo Is Not Familiar With Figures’, Edo APC Chair Slips in Governor’s Defense
Jarrett Tenebe, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, has defended Governor Monday Okpebholo by saying he is not familiar with figures because he isn’t a thief.
Okpebholo stuttered several times before eventually saying the budget’s total figure “was confusing him” while presenting before the state’s House of Assembly members on Tuesday.
Tenebe, while defending Okpebholo, said the governor struggled during the presentation because “he does not know how to steal”.
“The social media has been agog with the governor’s budget presentation about a mistake on N605 billion and the rest of it all,” Tenebe said.
“It’s a normal thing. Some have made such mistakes. A lot of people make such mistakes. I don’t know figures… that’s how to know original and innocent people.
“Obaseki will not make such mistakes because he has stolen billions before. Asue Ighodalo will not make such mistakes because he has stolen billions before.
“Monday (Okpebholo) is not a thief, so, he is not familiar with figures. So, anybody who wants to talk and continue to talk is nonsense.
“He is the governor of the state, he is performing and he’ll continue to perform and anybody who does not like his face should go to hell and burn to ashes. Period! And thank you!”
