Minister of Works Dave Umahi was interrupted while speaking at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Kaduna State on Saturday after the microphone he was using was taken away before he finished his address.
Footage of the incident circulating online showed Umahi speaking to President Bola Tinubu and other senior party officials at the event.
The minister was requesting that Tinubu officially commission an important road when his speech was cut short by the removal of the microphone.
Umahi had begun his appeal by addressing the president respectfully, describing him as both the country’s leader and a father figure, before the unexpected interruption occurred.
The incident has generated reactions on social media, where users have shared and commented on the video. However, the circumstances behind the microphone being taken away were not explained in the report.
Those present at the rally included Tinubu, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and his wife, alongside other party chieftains and supporters.
