David Umahi, minister of works, and Adams Oshiomhole, MP for the Edo North Senatorial District, got into an altercation on Wednesday. While defending the 2026 budget, the Ministry of Works and the two got into an argument.
A video of the minister yelling at Oshiomhole, “You can’t use foul language on me,” has gone viral. I am a noted Nigerian.
Rufai Sani Hanga, a senator from the Kano Central Senatorial District, warned the minister to be careful with his remarks. A subsequent opportunity to address the budget was granted to Oshiomhole.
