Peter Obi Laments Deteriorating State of Nigerian Roads After Grueling Journey | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, has lamented the poor condition of Nigerian roads.

He shared his experience of a recent road trip from Onitsha in Anambra State to Anyigba in neighboring Kogi State, which took him over seven hours instead of the usual three.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, who took to X on Saturday to recount his ugly experience on road trips across the country, noted that he had consistently appealed for all tiers of government to prioritise the repair and completion of existing road infrastructure.

He said this would be better than launching new projects that may not be completed anytime soon, thereby further adding to the growing list of abandoned road projects scattered all over the country.

He said, “On Tuesday the 15th (October), my journey from Onitsha in Anambra State to Anyigba in Kogi State by road once again underscored my consistent appeal for all tiers of government to prioritise the repair and completion of existing road infrastructure, rather than launching new projects that may not be completed anytime soon, further adding to the growing list of abandoned projects scattered all over the country.

“The journey, which should normally take around three and a half hours, took us over seven hours. The route through Obollo Afor, Otukpa Branch, Ejule, and Anyigba was exhausting.

“On the return trip, we took an alternate route via Ogugu and Enugu-Ezike, departing Kogi State around 2:00 p.m. and not arriving back until about 9:00 p.m. – all for a meeting that lasted just 30 minutes.

“This is my travel experience across the country this year. In the first quarter, I had cause to travel from Calabar to Uyo, a trip that should take about an hour, but it ended up taking four hours.

“I travelled from Port Harcourt to Bayelsa, thinking I would use the East-West Road to Warri, but it became a treacherous journey. Warri to Benin was a similar experience.

“In August, I travelled from Abuja to Kaduna, where I spent over two hours on the Kaduna bypass alone.

“The Onitsha to Benin route was no different. My recent trip from Benin to Auchi and back was excruciating, and one cannot help but wonder.

“I know these things cannot be fixed overnight, but my appeal is that there should be total commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Nigerian travelling public, rather than launching new projects.

“The resources should be directed toward improving the existing roads and easing the burden on commuters.”
