Coastal Highway: Payment Of N2.75bn Compensation Done Out Of Sympathy For Those Who Voted Tinubu- Umahi

The federal government has begun payment of N2.75bn compensation for owners of properties affected by the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The compensation was flagged off on Wednesday with 10 beneficiaries, according to the Minister of Works, David Umahi said at a stakeholders’ meeting in Lagos.

The beneficiaries are: Olaotan Olamuyiwa of Checkmate; Kemi Osinibi of Landmark Kids Club by Maxtivity; Mide Adegbite, Peter Oladipupo of FX Lounge; Bukola Oloko, Abiodun Oguntunde of Xchange Lagos; Dapo Oniru of Moist Beach; Mustapha Olatunji of G12 Beach; Dr Bashir Oshodi, and Bestrock.

Umahi said the N2.75bn covers compensation for property owners affected by the demolition necessary for the construction of channel 0 to channel 3 of the coastal highway. Umahi said the compensation was out of sympathy for president Bola Tinubu’s supporters.

“To show sympathy for people who voted for Mr. President, we would do everything possible to pay the human face compensation.” the Minister said adding “Today, we are paying over N2bn in compensation just from channel 0 to channel 3.” Umahi said the remaining beneficiaries will be directed to the Secretariat of the Compensation Committee for payment.

The minister said, “All tenants within the Landmark premises, today, have all been shortlisted and they will get the alerts by 2:00 pm. Most of them are here and that closes the politics of Landmark.The committee will be sitting from 2:00 pm so that you will sign your documents in the form of indemnity and you will get your alert tomorrow before 2:00 pm.”

No Nigerian is more Nigerian than any other Nigerian irrespective of their choice of a candidate in any election.

See how partisan a minister of a nation is sounding in a matter that is a national issue and discuss. So non-APC members whose property were unfortunately sacrificed don't deserve some sympathy from the government.

This how the brain is severely damaged when you associated with the wrong people.Dave Umahi have nauseatingly elevated asslicking to the point that he now venerate failed humanity in the status of gods. Too bad! So sad!

Other tribes were involved but it seem like a tribal thing because of landmark.

Lootimi Amaechi did more than this yet where is he today.

Umahi the ethnic jingoist

This need to be verified,because can't believe a sensible government can take such biased action.If its true then Nigeria unity is in the muf

What umahi have become lately further confirms the fact that when you join the APC, you lose your sense of reasoning

The beneficiaries are: Olaotan Olamuyiwa of Checkmate; Kemi Osinibi of Landmark Kids Club by Maxtivity; Mide Adegbite, Peter Oladipupo of FX Lounge; Bukola Oloko, Abiodun Oguntunde of Xchange Lagos; Dapo Oniru of Moist Beach; Mustapha Olatunji of G12 Beach; Dr Bashir Oshodi, and Bestrock.

Please does this means its only these people that owns properties on the affect road way? NO ANY OTHER TRIBE IN NIGERIA EXCEPT THEM??
or its only their tribesmen that is selected for the compensation - the rest cn go to the ministry to get compensated or go to hell! THEY DON'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE THEIR NEPOTISM!

When i say these people are the most tribalist set of people in Nigeria - they will start throwing tantrums!

IF THEY OWN A COMPANY, THEY WILL EMPLOY ONLY THEIR PEOPLE - OR 97% THEIR PEOPLE!
IF THEY HEAD A MINISTRY, PARASTATAL OR DEPARTMENTS, THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY BRING IN THEIR PEOPLE TO FILL UP 99% OF THE POSITIONS - GO TO JAMB OFFICE IN BWARI AND YOU WILL WONDER IF YOU ARE IN OSUN STATE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION CAUSE 90% OF THE STAFF ARE YORUBAS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IS YORUBA! i don't know how they do it!

Go villa! you go shock! 80% of the domestic staff in villa as at now are all the same tribe including the security personnel from second gate to inside aso rock! i honestly dont know how they do it! the amazing thing is, THE MAN IS NOT EVEN UP TO A YEAR THERE AND THEY HAVE SWAPPED ALL THE OLD STAFF TO HIS TRIBES MEN!

NOW LOOK AT THE SO-CALLED COASTAL ROAD - WHY IS IT NOT STARTING FROM CALABAR - SOUTHSOUTHERN NIGERIA?? WHY MUST IT START FROM LAGOS - SOUTH-WEST NIGERIA TRIBALISMMMM!!!

From a minister? A mumuminister

This man named Dave Umahi is an animal unless you don't know him pretty much.

He was simply astute in the project works he did in Ebonyi state but beside that, he was terrific to Ebonyi people.

He ruled that state like Adolf Hitler. Nobody dare challenges Umahi otherwise you would be framed up and be arrested for criminal offence you never committed.

The manner he speaks now was how he was talking as governor.

Can't you see how he deliberately brought in ethnic dimension in his criticism against Peter Obi?

He knows how to frame up an individual whose opinion is contrary to his and get that person arrested.

Unfortunately, Peter Obi is not the ordinary people he was arresting in Ebonyi state.
