A viral video showing the convoy of the Edo State Governor trapped in floodwater along a major road in Benin City has stirred public outrage and mockery across social media.
The incident, which occurred earlier this week, has once again brought to light the state’s lingering infrastructure and drainage challenges. The footage shows several official vehicles struggling to move through murky, knee-deep water, as onlookers record and jeer in disbelief.
According to Eyes of Lagos, the governor’s entourage was reportedly en route to an official engagement when the vehicles became stranded. The convoy was forced to wait for several minutes before managing to wade through the flooded section.
Social media users have since flooded comment sections with criticism of the state government’s handling of flood control projects, calling the incident a reflection of leadership failure and misplaced priorities.
While some defended the governor, saying the flooding problem predates his administration, others argued that the situation is a wake-up call for urgent infrastructural reforms in Edo State.
