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.”
