Legal expert Mr. Effiong has voiced concerns over the management of the president's security arrangements, questioning whether such measures could be executed without imposing significant inconveniences on other travelers. He emphasized the need for a balance between ensuring the safety of dignitaries and maintaining the flow of traffic for the general public.
The traffic disruptions have sparked discussions on social media, with many residents sharing their experiences and expressing their dissatisfaction with the situation.
