In a viral video that circulated widely on social media, Okpebholo made numerous attempts to state the figures of the Appropriation Bill titled “Budget of Renewed Hope for a Rising Edo”.

He wrote in his caption to the video, “Meanwhile, here’s the original video of the Edo State Governor before it was doctored.”

Okpebholo concluded, “605 billion and details of the budget proposed… proposal for your consideration and approval. Thank you for your kind consideration.”
The governor revealed that N223bn, or 37 percent of the total N605bn budget, would be allocated to recurrent expenditure. The remaining N381bn, which represents 63 percent, is earmarked for capital projects.
