“You are incorrect,” Reuben Abati tells Umahi about Tinubu’s photos on the Niger Bridge. Reuben Abati, the anchor of Arise News, disagrees with Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works, about the directive to display President Bola Tinubu’s picture on the First Niger Bridge.
Speaking on Thursday’s “Morning Show” on Arise Television, Abati claimed that allowing only Tinubu’s photo on the bridge is discriminatory, particularly in light of the 2027 general election campaigns.
Remember that issued the directive on Wednesday while examining the bridge’s renovation efforts.
“Where I disagree with him is the Minister saying the bridge should be decorated only with the posters of President Bola Tinubu,” Abati responded. No, that is prejudiced. No, not during a political season.
Even President Tinubu’s poster must not exist if there isn’t one. Since Nigerians provided the funds used by the Ministry of Works to renovate the old bridge, there shouldn’t be any discrimination. We own the money.
Therefore, you can access that route regardless of whether you are ZLP, AA, or anything else. It cannot be exclusive to APC members. On that point, I concur with you.
