The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has reduced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) allegation that the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo has spent a whopping ₦3.51bn on “travels” in six months of 2025, as a desperate attempt to defend the unprecedented raid by former Governor Godwin Obaseki and his “gang of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.”

The PDP allegation is contained in a press statement that was signed by the party’s caretaker Secretary, Hon. Chris Nehikhare. According to PDP, their allegation came from a data from the office of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

But a release signed by the APC State Chairman, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, the ruling party absorbed the PDP, saying the party was suffering from an acute form of hallucination which is associated with neurological disorders, due to the effects of overdose of substances and post election defeat syndrome.

The APC also reminded the public that the PDP is “…only grasping at straws as a desperate attempt to defend the unprecedented raid by former Governor Godwin Obaseki and his gang of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.”

The APC statement reads: “The leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) latest roguish and dishonest accusation that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has spent a whopping #3.51bn on travels in the last eight months, has once again exposed their poor and lack of understanding of broader key economic indicators—which reflected in their negative impact on Edo State people throughout their disastrous eight years administration.

“The PDP is only grasping at straws as a desperate attempt to defend the unprecedented raid by former Governor Godwin Obaseki and his gang of ‘Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.’

“For the records, the APC administration led by His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo has demonstrated financial prudence since taking over from the PDP abstracted-MOU ‘419’ government on November 12, 2024.

“Accusing the present administration of wasting ₦3.51bn on imaginable ‘travels’, when the governor has not embarked on any foreign trip since November 12, 2024, shows that the half a dozen PDP renegades are obviously suffering from an acute form of hallucination which is associated with neurological disorders, due to the effects of overdose of substances and post election defeat syndrome.

“Our party, the APC wishes to place on recored that Senator Okpebholo is a grassroots leader who is interested in finding home grown solutions to reposition the various sectors for measurable growth in the shortest possible time.

“We therefore call on Edo State people and friends of the state to ignore the ignoble treasury looters and their fugitive leader that is presently on the run.

“The APC government in Edo State is only interested in all round development of the 18 local government areas in line with global best practices. Governor Okpebholo will not continue in the habit of siphoning the state’s resources through fictitious globe trotting as was witnessed in the last PDP administration.”
