Umahi: I Didn't Shun Journalists, My Media Aide Didn't Handle It Properly by ganisucks(f): 2:33pm On May 30

Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, has denied snubbing newsmen who honoured his ministry’s invitation for a news conference in Abuja.

Recall the minister allegedly walked out on the newsmen during his turn to present this ministry’s scorecard after one year of President Bola Tinubu’s Presidency.

However, Umahi, while speaking with newsmen in Abakaliki after participating in activities marking Gov. Francis Nwifuru’s one year in office described the allegation as untrue.

The minister said he only wanted to appreciate selected media houses for their commendable coverage of his ministry’s activities.

“They all worked hard for us during President Bola Tinubu ‘s inauguration of projects in Lagos and I wanted to thank them profusely.

“I wanted the appreciation to be surprising to the selected media houses but my media aide didn’t handle it properly.”

He said the event was fixed for 2 pm on May. 28 but his aide told him that those set of journalists were covering an inauguration.

“We then shifted the event to 3 pm though my flight to Ebonyi for the governor’s inauguration of projects was also slated for the same time.

“My aide informed me that the event was set for 3.30 pm but when I got to the ministry’s hall, there was no single camera.

“The only camera on sight was from my ministry and I became very angry with the aide,” he said.

Umahi said he demanded that the event be shifted to Monday, June 3 because if it had been held, the surprise element would have been defeated.

“I will also be faced with a number of journalists that I couldn’t handle so my media aide did not handle it properly.

“Reports of shunning journalists, therefore, do not exist because I cannot invite and shun them at the same time,” the minister added.

He said that he would still offer appreciation to the group of media houses he considered special to the ministry.

Just look at this shameless linus. This Abakaliki 50 cent that can't rap.
In the past when igbo men talked, people listened. But now, who talks? Obi Cubana, Cubana chief priest, Umahi. All manners of riff-raff just disgracing and embarrassing their people. Rubbish.

This one will just open his mouth and be saying, "Concreche Road". Quack oluwole engineer.

This is not leadership, you just routed your aide Honourable Minister.

“I wanted the appreciation to be surprising to the selected media houses but my media aide didn’t handle it properly.”

You have more leverage than your aide so don't call him out publicly. That aide still has to look for more work to do. You just put a red ink on their CV. Any good leader will flog you inside but they never do it outside. It is sad to see the Minister throw his aide under the bus.

He could have just said there was a mix up in my schedule and this disorganised me or look for something to say that does not show you as an angry person. Simply, apologise.

Press, I am sorry for what happened. It was not what we planned and how we planned it. I respect you for your work and do not disrespect you. Forgive me for what happened.

No, na that arrogance go make dem de act like god.

“Reports of shunning journalists, therefore, do not exist because I cannot invite and shun them at the same time,” the minister added.

They come de salaye of selected pressmen and unselected pressmen, further proving that all you want is cameras and sycophants. If it is only your ministry that is there nko? At least you can understand the English of your own press men, you want to let another Laila speak English you cannot arise too

If he started with his own press, I am very sure they will call their colleagues. It is obvious the Minister wants to be written about and instead of celebrating Dave, the Press made his anger the headline. Anyway, Tinubu praised you as part of his working team, so you are assured of his renewed hope cabinet
