It has become a regular thing to Nigerians to experience certain hardships during the rainy season as the season comes with adverse effects on so many things.

It was an embarrassing day for Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki and his convoy as they were stuck in flood on their way to an event.

In a statement released on Sunday, Governor Obaseki confirmed he was stranded on Sapele road due to the flooding. He said:

“I was on Sapele Road recently. After the heavy downpour, the road was impassable. What is going on in Benin-Sapele Road is scandalous.

Cars in the Governor’s entire convoy, including his official vehicle, a bulletproof Lexus LX 570 SUV, were seen stuck in the middle of heavy flood due to bad roads.

“I don’t think that any region where the oil resources that sustain the country come from should be neglected. We have done everything possible. We don’t know what to do again to draw the attention of the federal government to these roads.”
