The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has slammed Remi Oseni, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA, for accusing him of mispriority. DAILY POST recalls that Oseni had called out Umahi over the deteriorating road network in the country during a house hearing on Thursday.
Oseni had said Umahi ’s focus is on funds, while neglecting what should be his priorities. Reacting to Oseni's statement, Umahi , while addressing reporters on Monday, said the lawmaker had not attained half of what he has achieved in life. The former governor said he would not join issues with the lawmaker out of the respect he has for the Speaker of House of Representatives and the National Assembly.
For the respect of the Speaker and, of course, the Senate President and the National Assembly institution that I belong to, I will refrain myself from joining issues with him. “He said I have failed... No one in life ever said I have failed and I have never failed in anything I am involved in and if he likes, he should go and check my pedigree. “I believe that God has to be with him to attain half of what I have attained in life.
