PDP questions Okpebholo’s claim of $250m investment deal.
The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has asked Governor Monday Okpebholo to provide detailed explanations on the $250m agreement recently signed with the European African Chamber of Commerce and Industries.
In a statement on Sunday, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Daniel Osa-Ogbegie, said the governor’s announcement had “become a source of embarrassment to Edo people,” adding that the opposition party would no longer allow opacity in the state’s fiscal dealings.
The Edo State Government had on September 25, 2025, announced that the governor signed the $250m agreement during the Edo State Global Investment Summit in Glasgow, Scotland.
According to the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, the deal with EuroAfrica CCI—an umbrella body of chambers of commerce in 98 countries—was a framework for strategic investment in Edo over the next three to five years.
But the PDP said the administration must come clean on the specifics. Osa-Ogbegie declared:
“We will demand clarity on the governor’s claim of a $250m investment from Glasgow that has become a source of embarrassment to Edo people at the moment. We will question the abandonment of projects initiated under the administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki, and we will shine light on fiscal management practices that appear to ignore transparency and responsibility.”
The party stressed that while it respected constituted authority, its allegiance remained with Edo people.
“Where government policies uplift people, we will support them. But if governance becomes oppressive, wasteful, or deceptive, we will stand with the people,” the spokesperson said.
