Coastal Highway: Again, Umahi, Rufai Oseni Engage In Heated Argument (Video) by Newsgeek24(op): 10:54am On Oct 07, 2025

Minister of Works, David Umahi, and Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni, have once again engaged in a heated exchange, marking the second public confrontation between the two.

The latest clash stemmed from discussions on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, particularly the cost per kilometre of the newly added Edo section of the project.

Rufai, who had questioned the transparency and pricing of the project during a broadcast, accused the minister of reporting him to President Bola Tinubu during a previous event.

“After you reported me in front of President Tinubu at the commissioning, you came on air to attack me,” Rufai said.

In response, Umahi dismissed the allegation, saying Rufai was “too small” for him to report to anyone.

“Who are you? Rufai makes me laugh with his high level of ignorance,” the minister said.

Government officials must be held accountable by all. If not, we may wake up one day and realise that Nigeria has been sold to Jack Ma. Afterwards, everyone will be directed to start working in agbado plantations.

UMAHI IS A MINISTER FOR ALL NIGERIANS. HE SHOULD PLEASE STOP BEING ARROGANT AND PETTY ON THE NETWORK.

Dave Umahi though diminutive is always aloof and grandstanding with this coastal highway of fraud once challenged on the cost. feasibility, and longevity of the contract. However, he should be ready for future probe as far as this corruption is concern.

You know people like Umahi, Wike and co think they will remain in power for eternity. These were nonentities picked by their helpers whom they later betrayed. I pity their latter days in Nigeria political conundrum.

They get combative when asked simple questions about public projects they oversee using public funds.

Yeah, Rufai is always capable of engaging these goons.

Why can't he just give the average cost? It's not that hard.

Rufai Oseni is overating himself.

I blame Umahi for granting his invitation.

A minister reporting you to His Boss.

Who does he think he is?

Good for the minister! You once had a rough encounter with Rufai. And you still allowed yourself to be interviewed by someone you know is disrespectful and biased?
Re: Coastal Highway: Again, Umahi, Rufai Oseni Engage In Heated Argument (Video) by Image123(m): 12:55pm On Oct 07, 2025
David Umahi continues to disappoint by giving this fellow attention. You leave people like this to servant of the assistant of the SSA to the deputy of the project manager to handle. Umahi is not dignifying his status at all.

Food...food...food
What has or how has all the food you have been eating benefitted your no six?

Have you called out those championing insecurities in your land locked region for once? You support cow+nu, support ek-pa.

Hungry man

Rufai doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. You don't need to be an engineer to know terrains could be very different from kilometer to kilometer.

He kept on asking cringe worthy questions like a child.
Is he there for real journalism or just for comic relief?

The day this man will have problem with jagaban, people like you who praise and support his arrogance will label him Ipob and change the narrative that Igbos are sympathetic to his nonsense.

Dave Umahi is afflicted with certain complexes that messes with his head.
