The outspoken actor, who said he had been engaging the state government for nearly a month, expressed frustration over what he termed the administration’s silence on the worsening conditions in the area.
The criticism marks a bold escalation after weeks of private appeals.
Afod highlighted severe challenges affecting communities, including deteriorating roads, failing schools, and the collapse of healthcare services.
According to the filmmaker, several general hospitals in Idoani have been shut down, leaving residents without access to essential medical care.
The actor also raised concern over the state of education, alleging that teachers have abandoned schools due to poor conditions, while children are no longer attending classes.
He described the situation as alarming and deeply troubling for the future of young people in the community.
In a video shared online, Afod pointed to a nursery and primary school in Idoani as an example of the decay, urging authorities to confront the reality on the ground.
He insisted that the neglect extends across multiple communities within Ose Local Government Area.
Afod further revealed that some communities have endured power outages for up to two decades, with Idoani reportedly in darkness for eight years.
He argued that such prolonged deprivation reflects a systemic failure in governance.
Calling for immediate action, the actor appealed not only to the governor but also to local and federal representatives, including the chairman of the local government, lawmakers, and the area’s senator.
He urged coordinated intervention to address what he described as a worsening humanitarian situation.
The Kunle Afod slams Aiyedatiwa controversy has sparked conversations online, with many residents echoing concerns about infrastructure and public services in rural parts of Ondo State.
The issue has also drawn attention to the broader challenges of equitable development across local governments.

Despite the strong criticism, there has been no official response from Governor Aiyedatiwa or relevant authorities as of the time of filing this report.
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.
Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.
The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.
“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.
Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.
The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.
The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.
An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.
Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.
Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.
The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.
The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.
In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.
Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
