The Minister of Works Sen David Umahi has said that none of Landmark’s properties was touched during the demolition of structures along the coastal line.

Umahi in a chat with journalists in Abakaliki added that the two properties of Landmark were saved.

“I have asked Landmark to publish his title documents. Till today, he has not published it,” Umahi said.

“In fact, if I do one hundred meter corridor, the two buildings of Landmark would have gone. We did 30 30-meter corridor to save his property and he is not grateful because he is using it for politics.

“None of Landmark property was involved in the demolition and no permanent structure along that road. His property is in one plus 800.

“I saved his two properties, not because he is Landmark, but I am a developer because whatever you sow is what you will reap.”

The Federal Government has announced the demolition of properties within the first 3km of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway within Lagos State that commenced on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

Umahi disclosed that 750 houses that are on the path of the Lagos-Calabal Coast Highway have been marked for demolition.

The former Ebonyi State governor added that the government diverted the area where those cables ed adding that we would not even want to place the road by the side of the cable because it would generate heat and noise which will affect the quality of the cable.

Umahi pleaded with people especially those from the Southeast to go into investigation before assuming anything.

“I plead with our people, especially people of the southeast. Let us go into investigative journalism. You know at my status in the society, who is Landmark? Who is Landmark,” Umahi said.

“What investment does he has there that all these noise is being made. Go to the Total Estate and find out. There are two Obas within that zone. Let me start from chenet zero.”

Umahi said the demolition affected bigger properties within the area, stating that some were owned by persons from other tribes.

He alleged that the owner of Landmark was politicising the issues.

“At chenet zero to chenet one plus 200 plus one point three kilometres nothing was destroyed. You will get to one point 500, you will see the house of Bolaji. Magnificent house, white house. It is bigger than one of Landmark’s properties. I did everything to save it, I couldn’t save it. He is a Yoruba person,” Umahi said.

People don't ask about this before criticising the government

Good question to ask the ingrate.

“I have asked Landmark to publish his title documents. Till today, he has not published it,” Umahi said.

“In fact, if I do one hundred meter corridor, the two buildings of Landmark would have gone. We did 30 30-meter corridor to save his property and he is not grateful because he is using it for politics.

“None of Landmark property was involved in the demolition and no permanent structure along that road. His property is in one plus 800.

“I saved his two properties, not because he is Landmark, but I am a developer because whatever you sow is what you will reap.”

Lagos state government should publish it on behalf of the ingrate.

Nigeria na cruise...

Only corruption works here

Umahi has given him a challenge.

Landmark has nothing. He is just a noise maker. Obidients can only gaslight mugus, mumus, and low IQ people.

Them go still cry and play the victim game, oloriburuku set of people 🤣🤣🤣🤣

After today's forced stay at home and the attacks on security and military personnel while on their lawful duty, this is what I expect to hear from Maryanne Moghalu.


Invest in Igboland at your own peril

- Maryanne Moghalu

In Nigeria we take everything as politics , ethnicity and religion,hence our poor level of development.

Noted.

lgb0s value propaganda and playing the vîctîm card than anything.
That's a fact.

white elephant project. Money wey una for use buy fuel dash citizens.

People truly dont investigate or at least read before they cry fowl!

Carry go joor. You have the serious minded Nigeria backing.
It is only those who have money that goes to beach to enjoy.

I can never be used to fight my brother

“I plead with our people, especially people of the southeast. Let us go into investigative journalism. You know at my status in the society, who is Landmark? Who is Landmark,” Umahi said.

Is Umahi insinuating that the South East people are illiterate noise makers?

This is too much

Yimu, you destroyed a beach, defaced the landscape, demolished several temporary structures, swimming pools and other facilities, block buildings is not the only thing Landmark has.

You were asked severally if you did Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and you said yes. You kept reassuring Nigerians.
Who starts. $16B construction without (EIA)? What’s the job of the consultants you paid billions to?

In sane climes you’d resign for gross incompetence and malicious damage of not only Landmark, but other investments along that axis that you destroyed… all for nothing. Absolute nothingness.

Water runaway my eyes

Na their way

Hm

I've said it here that I personally went to the place to confirm if Landmark property was demolished but none was touched, but the usual suspects obirodent miscreants disagreed just to paint any policy initiated in South West as anti Igbos and to score cheap political points.
These are outdated antics used by these elements, it's only those who are not smart who falls for such.

Umahi the bingo, your own BATeria infection is out of this world.

This man is just catching cruise

Oga where is the Abuja - Lagos super highway that you said will reduce Abuja - Lagos to 4-5 hours journey

Instead of this crying from landmark, why don't he relocate to onistha river bank and build his $200m resort there.

Na by force to invest in Yorubaland ehn

Just look at how a minister of the federal Republic talks like a thug.....this is now personal to him....God forbid

Na Yorubas they give them attention. Hausa people no dey send them, and that doesn't stop them (Hausas) from doing what they want to do.

No ethnocentric chauvinist and Religious Bigots like the Igbos yet the hypocrites always cry Wolf.
If the Igbos have the opportunity that Hausas and Yorubas have........

Obirodent miscreant spotted.
With the activities of IPOB terrorists today, have you seen anyone commenting "invest in South East at your own peril" but let this happened in other regions, you would see the losers foaming in the month.

Politics push you to fight your bother and when done with the fighting, you’ll shine but after shining you’ll go back to that brother who will watch and laugh at you. Only ingredient is time!

You gotta be intelligent in all you done, there're stages in life, regardless of your current wealth.
