Peter Obi Replies Dave Umahi Over Allegations Of Inciting South East Against Tinubu Admin – Trending With Ojy Okpe

The stakeholders meeting organized by the ministry of works, to compensate property owners affected by the controversial Lagos- Calabar coastal road project, took a dramatic turn on Wednesday, after the minister of works Dave Umahi accused property owners of playing politics.

The minister also accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, who has been quite vocal about the project of inciting the people of the south-east who according to him, are not well informed about the project, against the federal government.

In response, peter obi, in a series of tweets clarified the video in circulation, stating that during his tenure as governor of Anambra state, he made it abundantly clear that all structures obstructing existing roads and lacking approval would be removed, and that his actions were aimed at prioritizing the repair and maintenance of existing infrastructure to safeguard the livelihoods of Nigerians and to ensure the efficient use of resources. He also addressed the comparisons and Umahi’s accusations.

During the question and answer session with journalists, the minister was asked about the approval process of the project by our environmental correspondent, Laila Johnson Salami, which apparently unsettled the minster, as he claimed that he could not understand her question because of her accent.

Meanwhile, users on social media, have pulled up videos of bad roads which are over due for re-construction. A video of the Benin – Auchi Road, as reported on May 1st made rounds on social media.

In Lagos State, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab on Wednesday, revealed that the government has uncovered 86 rooms under the Dolphin Estate Bridge in Ikoyi, where tenants were paying an annual rent of N250,000 thousand Naira.

Wahab posted videos, showing officials of the commission demolishing the rooms which has sparked a debate online, over the high cost of living in Lagos, with many questioning the logic behind paying such a high price, for living under a bridge.
