Fix Our Road, Ikpoba Hill Residents Appeal To Senator Monday Okpebholo



The executive members of the Ikpoba Hill Youths Association and other members of the community defiled the early morning downpour to gather to appeal to the Edo State governor to deploy his working magic wand to fix
 the deplorable road situation of the Benin-Agbor road which has degenerated to a death trap. 

Speaking to newsmen at the worsening failed portions of the road by Tony Dee and at the Winners Chapel, the Chairman of the Association, Comrade Kingsley Osemwingie appealed to the Edo state working governor to expedite actions to intervene in the plight of the suffering Ikpoba Hill people and remedy the deplorable state of the road to avoid the state being severed from the Eastern parts of the country adding that if urgent comprehensive measures are not taken that the consequences on Edo state and the Eastern States of the country will be monumental. 

According to him, Let me quickly use this medium to thank you, our highly esteemed and working governor of our dear state, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for the massive infrastructural development going on across the state, particularly, the gigantic construction of the flyover bridge going on at the Ramat Park area of the Benin metropolis.

"We would like to use the same vein to appeal to the working governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to deploy the working magic wand which Edo people have nicknamed "Akpoko wonder" to remedy the deplorable road condition of the Benin-Agbor road because as you can see from here to the bypass axis is totally in a mess and if urgent comprehensive measures are not taken, nobody would be able to ply this road in the next few weeks.

" You know this road is very strategic as it is the major link road between Edo State and the Eastern States of the country.

"I saw the convoy of his Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, the governor of Delta State, last week, meandering and navigating his way out of the deplorable state of that Benin- Agbor Road. 

"We the Ikpoba Hill Youths and the entire people and residents of the community are appealing to the governor to come rescue the community from imminent complete road collapse.

Some of the residents of the community who spoke with the Press were unanimous in their call for urgent government intervention.

According to Mr Uyi Uwaifiokun who owns a shop in the area, he appealed to the Edo State governor to expedite actions and come to remedy the situation of the deplorable road condition.

" I am begging our working governor to come and help us repair this road because the bad road is seriously affecting our business as people are no longer patronizing our business because of the deplorable state of the road".
