Senator Abba Moro Excludes Obi and Oju from Medical Outreach as Bad Roads Cut Off Communities


By Smith Akoko


A wave of disappointment has swept through the Obi and Oju Local Government Areas of Benue State following their exclusion from the recent medical outreach organized by Senator Abba Moro.



According to sources close to the outreach team, the decision to skip the two localities was not intentional but rather a result of the deplorable state of the roads linking the communities. The impassable routes reportedly made it impossible for medical personnel and logistics teams to access the areas safely.


Residents and community leaders, however, have expressed their frustration, lamenting that the poor road network continues to rob them of essential services. Many described the development as “heartbreaking,” noting that health care should not be a privilege reserved for those in more accessible locations. 

We have been neglected for too long. Each rainy season worsens our situation. Now, even medical help can’t reach us because of bad roads,” one community elder lamented


While the outreach successfully kicked off in other parts of Benue South, offering free medical consultations, treatments, and minor surgeries, the absence of Obi and Oju on the list has reignited debates over infrastructure decay in the region.


Observers have called on both state and federal authorities to prioritize road rehabilitation projects across Benue’s rural communities. Many believe that improved infrastructure would not only boost healthcare delivery but also enhance economic activities and quality of life.


The exclusion of Obi and Oju serves as a stark reminder that development cannot thrive without accessible roads — and that no community should be left behin

d due to neglect.

I know he wants the best for me and he was just trying his best. “He was trying to be protective but being a pastor and me trying to have a career in music, there could be this friction....
