Edo Election: Peter Obi Expresses Displeasure Over Bad Conditions Of FG Roads
LAGOS SEPTEMBER 19TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has expressed great displeasure over the condition of roads in the country.
Obi said his heart kept bleeding, wondering how the nation allowed itself to descend so low to a situation where the people and the leaders no longer care.
Obi, who said he encountered over a dozen accidents along the way, lamented how his recent journey from Ekpoma to Benin, both in Edo State, that used to take about two hours was made much longer because of poor road conditions.
Taking to his X handle on Monday, while disclosing his itinerary over the weekend.
Obi said: “On Saturday, I travelled for six and a half hours from Onitsha to Igarra, Akoko-Edo by road, to join our Labour Party governorship candidate for Edo State, Barrister Olumide Akpata, and continued our campaign through Jattu-Uzairue and Auchi.
“On leaving Auchi around 6 PM, but due to the bad roads, it took us about an hour and a half to reach Ekpoma, where enthusiastic Obidients had been waiting all day.
“From Ekpoma, it took us about 3 hours to drive to Benin. I must express my sadness because the total journey used to take about 2 hours, but the poor road conditions made it much longer.
“We encountered over a dozen accidents along the way, and my heart kept bleeding, wondering how we have allowed ourselves to descend so low to a situation where we, the leaders no longer care.”
