You No Plan For Us, Not Concerned About Fixing Nigerian Roads; Reps Committee Blast Works Minister, Uhahi
The House of Representatives has sounded the alarm on the deplorable state of Nigeria’s road infrastructure, urging the Ministry of Works to take swift action to address the issue.
“I am worried that you’re not concerned about fixing Nigeria roads,” Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Hon. Remi Oseni told the Ministry of Works.
Oseni who represents Ido – Ibarapa East, Oyo State in the green chamber stated this during a meeting with the FERMA and the Minister of Works in Abuja, Dave Umahi, who was represented by Mr. Bede Obiora, Director Bridges and Design.
In a viral video, the lawmaker is heard saying, “You are not here to tell us what we already in the area of resources. So if you are telling us the reason why you have failed in fixing our road infrastructure is because of resources, don’t let me take you up there because you concentrated your energy as a minister on less priority issues.
“Don’t discuss resources, I say it again. All the roads that we have across the country have failed. If you are addressing these existing roads with the resources you have, Sir, Honourable Minister, we will not be where we are. Don’t discuss resources, I say it again.
“You came here last year, you got N300 billion supplementary budgetary approval. Don’t raise my emotion, I am worried that you are not concerned about fixing Nigerian roads. We are not here for business, whether you want to do the job or you don’t want to do the job. Stop telling us you are awarding roads, we don’t want you to be awarding roads that you are not ready to do.
“How can you be telling us that there is no resources, in less than one minute, form everything that everybody has said, it is a clue that you have no plan for us as a nation. I was wondering what was used as benchmark for your appraisal.”
“You have been an absolute failure as Works Minister. I wonder what appraisal was used to retain you. Do not ever complain about resources again. Don’t make me get mad at you.”

The embattled National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, on Friday held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Peoples Redemption Party in Abuja. The private consultation is seen as a fresh round of political moves as the ADC continues to battle a lingering leadership crisis and growing internal divisions.
Top figures from both parties were said to be present at the meeting, including PRP National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed and senior ADC officials. The development is already drawing attention as opposition parties continue realignments ahead of the 2027 political season, with many watching closely for possible alliances and next steps in the party crisis.

“ADC is a Holy Party, Cannot be used to Scam Nigerians Again” – Hon Success Opara tells David Mark
ADC Party in Turmoil: Hon Success Opara Slams Leadership, Warns Against Scamming Nigerians
Abuja, Nigeria – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing internal strife as Hon Success Opara, a prominent party official, has warned against attempts to use the party to deceive Nigerians. Opara specifically criticized the leadership of David Mark, stating that the party cannot be used to scam citizens again.
“ADC holy Party cannot be used to scam Nigerians again,” Opara said, emphasizing that those forming coalitions are hindering the party’s growth and denying youths opportunities to thrive.
“Those who are forming coalition don’t want to give the youths the chance to strive in the party,” she added.
Opara’s statement highlights the deepening divisions within the ADC, with concerns over leadership and the party’s direction.
The factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala Gombe, has announced that the party under his leadership will bar individuals above the age of 55 from contesting for political positions.
Gombe made the disclosure during an interview with BBC Hausa, where he outlined a vision centred on generational change and greater youth participation in politics.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a party that belongs to all Nigerians. What we are doing now is to ensure the party moves forward properly.
“We have decided that we will give the youths a real chance. The time has come for young people to take the lead in politics.
“If you are over 55 years old, you are not going to contest for positions in the ADC under our leadership.
“We want to bring in fresh blood, new ideas, and energy from the youth. Nigeria’s future depends on the young generation.
“The old ways have not worked well for the country. We need to open the door wide for youths to participate fully as candidates, leaders, and decision-makers,” he said.
