Nigeria’s minister of works David Umahi has punched back at Pascal Okechukwu a.k.a Cubana Chief Priest over his claim that Umahi is the second worst minister that ever came out of the South-east.
While reacting to Umahi’s dismal outing during President Bola Tinubu’s campaign flag-off in Kaduna, Cubana Chief Priest had described Umahi as second rate minister. Umahi had a microphone forcibly snatched from him by campaign moderators for talking too much.
However, speaking at an event Umahi swiped the entertainment entrepreneur describing him as a loudmouth who had little money but flaunt it like he had so much.
“We have become very noise-making. Every time, money na water. How much do you have?
“Money speaks for itself. Money speaks for itself, not to say money na water. Money, what have you done? How many of the people scholarship?” he asked.
Umahi also urged people to return to a more strategic approach, expressing concern that too much attention was being given to making noise about wealth rather than showcasing tangible achievements.
“We are becoming very loud. We should go back to our strategy,” he added.
