In his words:
“A land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026.
“The people of Edo deserve better infrastructure. These roads are not just an embarrassment; they are a serious concern for the safety of everyone who uses them. Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?”
His comments have brought renewed attention to concerns over road infrastructure and the responsibility of government to provide safer and better roads for residents.
