Prominent human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has launched a scathing criticism against the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, drawing urgent attention to what he describes as the deplorable state of the road leading to Nyanya General Hospital in Abuja.
In a strongly worded statement that has since gone viral, Adeyanju didn't mince words as he compared the government's priorities. The fiery lawyer questioned why essential infrastructure like hospital access roads continues to deteriorate while officials engage in what he termed "appearance politics" on television channels.
Road to Healthcare Becomes Health Hazard
The condition of the road leading to Nyanya General Hospital has reportedly reached a crisis point, making it difficult for patients, medical staff, and emergency vehicles to access the healthcare facility. This situation poses a serious threat to public health, particularly for those requiring urgent medical attention.
"This road is more important than taking your children to Dubai and appearing on Channels TV to make noise," Adeyanju declared in his direct message to Minister Wike.
Government Priorities Under Scrutiny
The activist's comments highlight growing public frustration with what many perceive as misplaced priorities in governance. While basic infrastructure crumbles, officials are being called out for what appears to be attention-seeking behavior rather than substantive problem-solving.
Adeyanju's statement resonates with many Abuja residents who have long complained about the deteriorating road network in the Federal Capital Territory, despite substantial allocations for infrastructure development.
Public Reaction and Expectations
Social media responses to Adeyanju's call-out have been overwhelmingly supportive, with many Nigerians sharing similar experiences of neglected infrastructure in their communities. The public is now watching closely to see if the FCT Ministry will respond with concrete action or maintain what critics describe as "deafening silence" on pressing issues.
As the debate continues, one thing remains clear: citizens are increasingly holding public officials accountable for delivering tangible results rather than media appearances.
