Governor Godwin Obaseki's convoy was stranded at the dilapidated RCC junction on the Benin-Sapele-Warri highway, which has become a nightmare for road users. The governor claimed that the conflicting Federal Government's position on federal roads in states made it impossible for his administration to fix dilapidated federal roads across the state. A viral video of the incident was shared, with a background voice urging viewers to share the video to show the payback time for leaders who fail to take necessary action to help the people. Obaseki, who visited the Edo State secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, criticized the state's central location and the confusing federal policy relating to its roads. He criticized the state government for not giving a federal road to any state, and emphasized that Nigerians are all Nigerians and that the Federal Government should treat them as human beings.
