A clip featuring Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, having difficulty articulating the amount for the 2025 budget has taken social media by storm.
Earlier today, December 10, the governor appeared at the state House of Assembly to present a projected N605 billion for the fiscal year 2025. This budget, dubbed “Budget of Renewed Hope for a Rising Edo,” signifies a 25 percent increase compared to the 2024 budget.

During the introduction of the Appropriation Bill, the governor clearly struggled as he attempted to state the N605 billion figure. Nevertheless, he continued with his speech. While grappling with the figures, the governor remarked; “It’s baffling me,” letting out a chuckle.
One reply on “Governor Monday Okpebholo’s Budget Blunder: What Happened?”
One thing i admire about His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo is his simplicity and humility in handling and responding to issues. Human error is normal and common and no one is above it and no one you should be dragged for making a mistake.
In the presentation of the budget at the Edo State House of Assembly he made some errors while calling the figures which maybe due to several reasons known to him. I greatly commend his humility in admitting the figures were a bit confusing as it may not have been clear. Meanwhile i am very certain that his detractors are the ones actively publicizing the video just to distract the masses and to disorient our esteemed Governor. They should desist from such a shameful and dishonourable act and focus on putting differences aside to assist the Governor in moving the State to greater heights.
