It is a painful reality to have a government that is insensitive to the people and whose major interest is to deceive the people.
I have been in tears since 12am after the sad news of the passing away of a dear friend and brother Mr. Joe Ukpo. Information at my desk has it that his death was as a result of the state of the Okpoma/Okuku Road now popularly known as Ayade dust.
I am very familiar with the road and I am made to believe that the negligence of the government caused the death of my friend and brother. Ayade moved to expand the said road. In the course of expanding the road some culverts that now stand at the middle of the road were not properly filled up and are recently a death trap for unsuspecting commuters. Added to the fact is the lingering dust that covers the view of commuters.
I don't want to believe the news that it was the negligence of the governor that cause the dead of my friend Joe Ukpo. Besides, my earlier source I have got a confirmatory call that it is the state of the road that caused the life of my friend.
Enemies of the good people of Yala may accuse me of dragging the name of the governor in but they cannot deny the fact that the Okpoma road has turned into a death trap since Ayade graded and abandoned the road.
Who brought Ayade to bring this hardship to us?
