In a riveting exchange that’s got the nation talking, news correspondent Laila Johnson-Salami boldly confronted Senator David Umahi with hard-hitting questions about the controversial Lagos-Calabar Highway Project. The heart of the matter? The project’s environmental impact assessment and whether it has secured the green light from the Federal Ministry of Environment or bypassed the process with an exemption.
The tension was palpable as Johnson-Salami demanded transparency, leaving no stone unturned in her quest for the truth. The senator’s response, however, took a turn for the unexpected. “Sister, I was raised in the village, me I no dey hear phoney… I need interpreter oo….” Umahi quipped, his words echoing through the halls of power and across social media platforms.
Was this a moment of sarcasm or a candid admission? The public is left to ponder as the story unfolds, but one thing is certain: Laila Johnson-Salami’s fearless journalism has once again stirred the pot, igniting a national conversation on accountability and environmental stewardship.
