A resident of Abuja has lamented the continuous artificial traffic caused by the convoy of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu every time he goes to work at the Presidential Villa in the Nigerian capital.
A viral video shared online on Wednesday, July 26, showed a long line of cars waiting to reach their destinations as the president’s convoy made its way to the seat of power.
Tinubu is yet to move into his official residence in Aso Rock, preferring to stay in his Aso Rock residence for the meantime.
The unnamed resident said in the clip: “This is artificial traffic caused by President Tinubu.
He lives in Asokoro, he has not moved to the villa yet, and every morning while he comes to work, they block the road for like 30 minutes, and when he is going back home in the evening, they also block the road for like 30 minutes.
“So you that is going to your office, you get to stay on the road for like one hour just to wait for President Tinubu to go to work every day, you can see the line, every day it happens every day, every day, every day.
“How do we continue like this because one man wants to go to work, he refuses to move into Aso Rock, he goes to work from his house he now has to block people from going to their own offices?
“Man, this is very bad, very bad, I have been here for 25 mins, and I am still going to wait again for another 20 minutes. Kai, Nigeria, it’s very absurd.”
