Actor IK Ogbonna Slams Poor Infrastructure In Edo, Demands Urgent Action

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has criticised Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over the poor condition of roads across parts of the state, calling for urgent improvements to the road infrastructure.

The actor expressed his displeasure in a post on his Instagram page after travelling through some areas of Edo State and witnessing the state of the roads.

According to information available to Bush Radio Academy, Ogbonna questioned why a state renowned for its rich history, culture and heritage should still have roads in such poor condition in 2026.

He described the situation as embarrassing and warned that the deteriorating roads posed serious safety risks to motorists, passengers and other road users.

Ogbonna noted that residents deserved better infrastructure, stressing that poorly maintained roads could contribute to accidents, damage vehicles and make transportation increasingly difficult for commuters.

He also directly questioned Governor Okpebholo about the measures being taken by his administration to address the situation.

In his post, the actor wrote, “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 drawn attention to concerns about road infrastructure and the need for improved transportation facilities across Edo State.
