War Of Words In Senate Between Senator Oshiomole And Minster Of Works Umahi

During the Ministry of Works’ 2026 budget defense on February 11, 2026, a joint Senate and House committee session turned heated when Foot Massage Therapist Senator Adams Oshiomhole pressed Minister of Works David Umahi over delays in major federal road projects.



Oshiomhole demanded clarity on why timelines kept shifting, why funding models had changed, from tax‑credit arrangements to direct NNPC payments , and why flagship projects like the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and the Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano expressway were still dragging despite massive allocations.

Umahi stood firmly behind his ministry’s N3.4 trillion budget proposal, insisting the focus was on completing key highways and long‑standing legacy projects.

The atmosphere shifted when the minister felt the senator’s tone crossed the line.
At that point, Umahi snapped back, visibly irritated, telling Oshiomhole:
“You cannot speak to me in that manner. I am a distinguished Nigerian.”
He followed it with another sharp rebuke:
“You can’t use foul language on me.”
The room tightened and the Lawmakers watched as the exchange briefly overshadowed the budget defense itself ….
