On Thursday, a protest took place on the Benin-Agbor Bypass, where numerous individuals gathered to demand urgent repairs for the road, which is in a deplorable state. A video shared by TheBeninBlogger showed a crowd protesting along the muddy and congested route, with vehicles struggling to navigate.

Protesters voiced their demands, with one man urging the government, specifically the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu, to focus on fixing the road rather than providing financial assistance, stating, “APC, we no dey collect money. Make una do our road for us.” Another resident highlighted the severe difficulties faced due to the road's condition, mentioning that travel had become nearly impossible, stating, “We dey live Agbor Road Bypass.

No going, no coming. Everywhere close.

We don spend like four hours here.” This protest reflects the growing concerns among residents and motorists regarding the state of major roads in the area, with repeated calls for government intervention.
