Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has criticised the condition of roads in Edo State, calling on Governor Monday Okpebholo to address the infrastructure challenges affecting residents and motorists.
The actor expressed his concerns in a post shared on his Instagram Story on Thursday after embarking on a road trip through the state.
Ogbonna said he was disappointed by the condition of the roads, arguing that a state with Edo’s rich history, culture and heritage should have better road infrastructure in 2026.
“Decided to take a road trip, and one thing I can say for certain is that Edo State, a land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026,” he wrote.
He said residents deserved better infrastructure, warning that the condition of the roads posed serious safety concerns for everyone who used them.

“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,” the actor stated.
Addressing the governor directly, Ogbonna asked what his administration was doing to improve the roads, expressing frustration that residents were still contending with such conditions.
“Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?” he asked.
He added: “2026, and we’re still dealing with this? SMH.”
The post comes as Edo State marks Governor Okpebholo’s second anniversary in office, with road construction and infrastructure development featuring prominently in discussions about his administration’s performance.
