Public Mockery: APC Campaign Bus Gets Stuck on Bad Lagos Road
Nigerians have mocked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after one of the party’s campaign buses became trapped on a dilapidated road in Alaba Market, Lagos State.
A viral video circulating on social media showed the Toyota Hiace minibus, decorated with APC insignia and pictures of political candidates, struggling to navigate a waterlogged and badly damaged section of the road.
Occupants of the vehicle were seen attempting to push the bus out of the muddy spot as onlookers gathered to watch the incident.
Some residents were heard jeering at the occupants, with one voice saying, “APC is trapped today. Nobody will push it.”
The incident reportedly attracted criticism from passers-by, who used the opportunity to express dissatisfaction with the condition of infrastructure and the performance of the ruling party.
Reacting to the development, Professor Pat Utomi took a swipe at the situation, sarcastically suggesting that the bus driver would need to rely on the government’s promise of renewed hope to navigate the abandoned road.
The incident comes barely a month after another APC campaign bus reportedly became trapped on a poorly maintained road in Ebonyi State.
The latest development has since generated reactions on social media, with Nigerians debating the state of road infrastructure and the government’s responsibility to provide functional roads.
