IK Ogbonna Calls Out Okpebolo Over Poor Road Conditions in Edo

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has criticised Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over the condition of roads across the state, questioning why residents continue to contend with poor road infrastructure in 2026.

The actor expressed his concerns after travelling through parts of Edo State, saying the state’s historical and cultural significance should be matched by better infrastructure.

In a post shared on Instagram, Ogbonna described the state of the roads as both embarrassing and dangerous, warning that their condition puts motorists and other road users at risk.

“A land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026,” he wrote.

He added that residents deserved improved infrastructure and should not have to deal with roads that threaten their safety.

“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 stated.

Ogbonna also addressed Governor Okpebholo directly, demanding an explanation of the measures his administration was taking to improve road conditions across the state.

“Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?” the actor asked.
