PDP Bombs Gov Okpebholo Over $250 Million Investment From Euro-Africa CCI At Glasgow Summit
The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Governor Monday Okpebholo to provide details on the $250m agreement recently signed with the European African Chamber of Commerce and Industries.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the Edo State government on September 25, 2025, announced that the governor signed the $250m agreement during the Edo State Global Investment Summit in Glasgow, Scotland.
The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, explained that the deal was a framework for strategic investment in Edo over the next three to five years.

However, speaking via a statement, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Daniel Osa-Ogbegie, stated that the governor’s announcement had “become a source of embarrassment to Edo people.”
He warned that the opposition party would no longer allow opacity in the state’s fiscal dealings.
Osa-Ogbegie said, “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.
Osa-Ogbegie also put the ruling All Progressives Congress on notice, challenging the party’s Publicity Secretary, Peter Uwadiae-Igbinigie, and the Commissioner for Information, Paul Ohonbamu, to brace up for robust engagements.
“Gentlemen, the road ahead will be robust. I am prepared for it. I trust you will be, too,” he added.
