In his tribute to the deceased, AY criticised the government and the state of the country’s roads, linking the incident to what he described as failures in road safety systems, infrastructure and leadership.
He questioned how many lives would continue to be lost before roads are made safer, and asked how long Nigerians would keep celebrating excellence abroad while facing dangers at home.
AY speaks on governance and safety concerns
Continuing his comments, AY lamented what he described as the government’s inability to adequately protect lives and called for accountability.
He stressed the need for safer roads, proper enforcement of traffic laws and functional emergency response systems.
He also urged authorities to treat human life as sacred and not disposable.

Fans react to AY’s post
Fans, however, shared mixed reactions to what the comedian who recently visited his daughter said.
Some disagreed with his position, arguing that the accident was caused by over speeding and driver negligence rather than government failure.
Others countered comedian AY's claims by stating that accidents occur globally, regardless of infrastructure. A few critics also questioned why similar advocacy was not consistently seen when ordinary Nigerians were involved in fatal incidents.

"Did the accident happen as a result of bad road? Why are you misinforming the public?"
@toryvillage commented:
"If a driver overspeeds and people die in a car crash, how is that the fault of the Nigerian government? Must some of you always look for someone to blame whenever something bad happens?"
