Popular Nigerian musician, Mayorkun, has taken to social media to vent his frustration about the deplorable state of Nigerian roads, singling out Nigerian senators for buying new SUVs instead of addressing the dire road conditions.In his impassioned post, Mayorkun directly addressed the senators, urging them to prioritize fixing the roads over acquiring luxury vehicles. The singer specifically highlighted the horrendous condition of the Lekki-Epe expressway, deeming it completely unacceptable. He chastised the senators for indulging in SUV purchases while vital road infrastructure remained in disrepair. Mayorkun voiced his frustration, lamenting the lack of quality roads in Nigeria, emphasizing that even the best drivers can be left humbled by the sorry state of road networks.
In response to the criticism, Nigerian senators justified their recent purchase of SUVs. They argued that the acquisition was necessary because most ministers have multiple SUVs, and the dire road conditions across the country necessitate the use of such vehicles to navigate the challenging terrain. However, Mayorkun was particularly concerned about the Lekki-Epe expressway. He insisted that the funds allocated for new SUVs should instead be directed towards repairing and improving the road infrastructure, addressing a pressing issue that affects countless Nigerians.
