You are too small for me, who are you? keep quiet! – Drama as Minister of Works, DAVE UMAHI loses his temper on live TV (VIDEO)

Tuesday, October 7, 2025 - A mild drama ensued on Arise TV this morning October 7 when one of the TV station's anchors, Rufai Oseni and the Minister of Work, Dave Umahi, almost came for each other.

The Minister was on the TV station to speak on the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project. While speaking, the Minister mentioned that Rufai had in a previous broadcast, stated that he (Umahi) struggled to give details of the cost per kilometer of the project. He said he found it disrespectful of Rufai to make such a claim. According to Umahi, it is ‘nonsensical’ for Rufai to be asking him for the cost per kilometer of the project.

Interjecting, Rufai claimed that the Minister had reported him to President Tinubu for asking questions about the project.

Visibly irritated by Rufai's comment, Umahi said

You are too small for me to report you to the President? Who are you? For me to report you to Mr President''

Rufai in his response stated there are video evidence to support his claim.

I have empirical evidence at the commissioning of the project where you mentioned the questions I asked you to the President. That was you reporting me officially to the President. So you do not need to dilly-dally. I don't talk without facts. When I have my facts I talk'' Rufai said

They continued to have their back and forth to the point the Minister asked Rufai to shut up.
