A video and several pictures posted on social media platform on Saturday showed that her convoy was trapped on the flooded and poorly maintained road, resulting in her SUV convoy being immobilised.
The convoy of the Bauchi State First Lady, Hajiya Aisha Bala Muhammad, has reportedly trapped in flood water on her way to commission a healthcare centre in the Jamdan area of the state.
A video and several pictures posted on social media platform on Saturday showed that her convoy was trapped on the flooded and poorly maintained road, resulting in her SUV convoy being immobilised.
The First Lady, the photographs showed, was forced to step out of her vehicle as she walked through the water to reach her destination.
This incident highlights the pressing issue of infrastructure development and the need for improved road conditions in the region.
Meanwhile, the pictures have elicited reactions from Nigerians, who described the situation as unfortunate.
They noted that despite the fact that the First Lady and her family have been around, they left the road unfixed, depicting a development that characterised the plight of Nigerian rural dwellers.
“They’ve been around the corridors of power for years more than any other tribe but na Dem still suffer pass,” a Nigerian social media user, Chinasa Omeri said.
She added, “Engaging in open discussions about government and its actions is vital for a healthy democracy. It’s great to see people using social media to bring attention to important issues and hold leaders accountable.”
