Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, has slammed the Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, over the poor condition of roads across the state, questioning why residents are still forced to endure what he described as terrible roads in 2026.
Ogbonna raised the issue after taking a road trip through Edo, arguing that a state known for its rich history, culture and heritage should not have such poor road infrastructure.
In a post on Instagram, the actor said the condition of the roads went beyond embarrassment, warning that they posed a serious danger to motorists and other road users.
“A land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026,” he wrote.
“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,” he added.
He also directly challenged the governor to explain what his administration was doing to address the situation, asking: “Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?”
