Minister of works, David Umahi took a swing at Cubana Chief Priest saying he always brags about having a lot of money.
The minister at an event called out the celebrity bar man, saying he should take a cue from known wealthy men in the country, who don’t make noise about the amount of money they have.
Umahi said, “Money na water. How much do you have?”.
“Have you ever seen Dangote, Femi Otedola or BUA saying they have money? Money speaks for itself. You are becoming very noisy and loud, we should go back to our strategy”.
The minister’s admonition comes weeks after Cubana Chief Priest labeled Umahi the second-worst minister from the South-East and demanded his removal for lack of visible and progress.
In a viral video on social media, Umahi fired Cubana criticizing him for constantly boasting about wealth, contrasting him with quiet billionaires like Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, and questioned what he has built, or how many people have benefited from scholarships offered by him.
“Every time, money na water. How much do you think you have?”
