Umahi mocks ARISE TV host, Rufai, over his traffic offence after the host asked how he can defend APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket

Politicians derail a lot when they have no answers to questions

Nigeria..... not an intelligent way to derail a question, most especially not for a Governor...

Vawulence

Rufai asked stupid questions.


Without doubt Arise is just a caricature of a TV station and would not stand the test of time.

He wanted Umahi being an easterner to support an easterner.

He wanted Umahi being a "born-again Christian at that" to be against Muslims within his party rising to leadership.

Nigeria is unfortunate to have such individuals broadcasting their prejudice.

He didn’t want to answer.
That’s best cus whatever he had said, would have been taken out of context.

You don't want him to derail then why ask him questions about the religion of whom he decides to support...


Supporting people cos of religion dey our constitution abi or na part of the criteria wey good leader must get.....


If he likes he support Babalawo Babalawo Ticket na him right....

You shouldn't be bringing irrelevance to the table instead bring out issue based questions....

Rufai is a nuisance. I’m glad Umahi did not hesitate to put him in his place. He attempted to gaslight the governor with religion but got a blackface for it.

It’s unfortunate that bigots like Rufai are the ones we are allowing to shape the narrative of the next election. Using a national television platform to blackmail a governor into not supporting the candidate of his party should be discouraged. What has being a “born again Christian” got to do with supporting the candidate of ones party?

Umahi should have pressed his ostrich like neck further by asking him if it’s good for a “born again Christian” to break traffic laws in Lagos by driving against traffic and endangering the lives of other road users.

Somebody ignore his question and he is still repeating it. Good for him. Journalists form saints on TV and they are not in anyway better than the politicians with their fake news and bigotry.

Because Umahi has been shouting that it's the turn of south east. Now that a South easterner is contesting, what should he do?

Hahahahahahahaha.......arise tv staff go dey collect wotowoto

Read this again and see how foolish you sound.. Yoruba has produced a president, North has produced, what's wrong in asking the east to produced? Mumu man

That was a stupid question

1. Does he have to support his kinsman?
2. Are they in the same party?
3. Rufai introduced a dangerous religious dimension, when he said "as a born again Christian". Did he mean Christians were not supposed to vote for Muslims? His premise was flawed and blackmailing!

We are practicing a multi party democracy and not tribal democracy. When you join a party, you must respect the decision of the party and support the candidates of your party. That’s what party supremacy is all about. That south east did not get the party’s ticket in 2022 doesn’t mean the region won’t get it another time. Learn to start respecting democratic choices.

Umahi was involved in a primary process in which he didn't win.

As a party man, he has shown honour by sticking with his party.

I'm sure you know what honour is.

Rufai asked a very pertinent and interesting question. But the liver-less Umahi couldn't answer it.

Was he not at the fro font of a president from the South East? Was it not the reason he was romancing Buhari? Same reason he left PDP for APC.

HE didn't play party politics in PDPbut now want to do so in APC. He must be joking.

If the Igbos think people will rally round them like we are doing for Obi, after now, they must be joking.

What office is Umahi running for that he needs "Igbo people" to rally round him?

You are not in Umahi's heart to know why he's close Buhari.

His strides in Ebonyi state may just be the reason he's close to the presidency.

It appears many of you are tactless individuals who don't understand what diplomacy and selflessness means.

I watched the show. He was just asking him questions. Umahi cited the marginalisation of the Igbos as his reason for leaving the PDP. He contested for the presidency on the ground that IGBOS should have a shot at it. That was why rufai asked those questions regarding Peter Obi.

It's not as serious as you try to paint it. Dr Abati also asked him about Gov Wike

No one is preventing the east from producing the president if they so wish. But don't deny another their right because you feel you should have a shot. The east played a blind form of politics by aligning with PDP and calling those who joined the opposition all manner of names. To vote and be voted for is a right for every citizens who are qualified for such. So vote for a choice you're ok with

He just held him to account to his actions. Talk is cheap.

The offence he committed before or another fresh one.
How can Umahi stooped too low.

Anyway, it takes madness to be in APC

North East has not produced President, will you vote for Atiku?

Umahi had a shot at it.

He did not win.

Some day he may try again and win.

It is not win at all cost or the country goes to blazes.

You guys should be more responsible.

North East have not produced a President. Atiku is from the North East. It is his turn.

Muslim Muslim ticket is satanic

Journalists don't form saints. They're just doing thier job of asking the questions that put one on the spot. This irrespective of thier own political inclination. Of course, they have thier opinion but they're not supposed to make it obvious thus the reason you think they're forming saints.

I thought we in the former BMC all agreed after 2015 elections that power will only rotate between North and SW forever in other the teach the 5%er yeebos a lesson? What changed?
