During a recent visit to Edo State, the outspoken artist—known for his long history of criticizing government performance—expressed satisfaction with the ongoing road construction and rehabilitation projects in the state.
Abdulkareem noted that the improvements in road networks could significantly boost economic activity and ease transportation challenges for residents.
The rapper, who has built a reputation for holding leaders accountable through his music and public commentary, described the developments as a “step in the right direction,” urging the government to sustain the momentum and ensure projects are completed to high standards.

The development has since generated mixed reactions, with some praising the progress while others question whether the commendation reflects deeper systemic change or a temporary political narrative.
