The General Overseer the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye has ridiculed a statement by the Minister of Roads and Works, Mr. Babatunde Fashola that Nigerian roads are not too bad.

This comes after the former governor of Lagos state insisted that Nigerian roads are not as bad as they are portrayed.

The former Lagos Governor stated this while addressing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

“The roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad,” Fashola had said.

In his response, the senior pastor lamented the decay of infrastructure in the country.

Addressing his congregation on Sunday, Pastor Adeboye said, “I travel a lot on Nigerian roads and when I travel by road particularly, I understand when someone says the roads are not completely bad.

“I understand that it is a true statement because the roads are not just very bad; they do not exist anymore. It is a road that exists that can be classified as very bad.

“I have travelled within towns and distances that I used to cover within 15 minutes now take up to an hour. Our stagnation must come to an end.”
