A drama ensued on Arise Television on Tuesday morning when the Minister of Works, David Umahi appeared in an interview on The Morning Show.
The minister, at some point, was angered by the questions that were put out to him by one of the show’s anchors, Rufai Oseni, who also accused him (Umahi) of having reported him (Oseni) to President Bola Tinubu over his views on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.
The former Ebonyi State governor said he is a professor in the field of engineering to the dismay of Rufai, who demanded to know the year the minister became a professor.
Umahi, who explained that he did not obtain professorship from any school but from his experience in the engineering field, added, “Keep quiet and stop saying what you don’t know. I’m a professor in this field. You don’t understand anything.”
“You are too small for me to report the President. Stop saying I reported you to the President, you’re too small,” Umahi added after Rufai had repeatedly accused him of reporting him to the President.
“I understand engineering very well. You have no knowledge of what you ask. You have no knowledge of what you’re asking.”
“Minister, it’s it’s alright, keep dignifying yourself, and let the world know who you truly are,” Rufai responded.
