Peter Obi bemoans deplorable condition of Nigerian roads<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in last year’s election, has lamented the deplorable condition of many Nigerian roads and the hardship it imposed on the people.<\/div>\n
\n
The former Ananbra State expressed his concern in a statement on Saturday while recounting his experience attending a condolence visit in Edo State.\u201cToday, again, I came face to face with the deplorable state of Nigeria roads as my desire to join a great friend and brother, Gen Cecil Esekhaigbe, in Esan Central of Edo State, who was burying his mother was married by bad roads,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had set out at 8 am by road to Esanland to join him and bid his beloved mother, Mrs. Ebaidebheki Esakhaigbe, farewell, but little did I know that it would be a mission impossible.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to my previous experience with bad roads, while going to the place previously through Benin, I decided to avoid that route entirely and go through Agbor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn getting to Agbor Junction, I turned toward the direction of my destination. However, I was shocked by the very bad shape of the road which was almost not passable by car. I persisted and continued on the journey for about 25 minutes into the road until it became completely blocked by a faulty trailer that had impeded movement, causing a great gridlock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, I decided to take Ugoneki Road, which would have also led me to my destination. Again, getting to the road was another nightmare, making my journey impossible. The poor condition of many Nigerian roads breaks my heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough it was impossible for me to physically attend, I remain in earnest prayers with my brother, Gen Cecil, for a successful event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI use this opportunity to continue to plead with our political leaders, at all levels, to concentrate on maintaining, rehabilitating, and reconstructing our existing roads and other infrastructure rather than embarking on new projects that will never be completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to the day when Nigerians will be able to travel freely and safely on good and well-maintained roads.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
