After God, my loyalty lies with Tinubu, says Umahi

The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has publicly declared his loyalty to President Bola Tinubu, stating that after God, his allegiance lies with the President.

This declaration was made during an interaction with newsmen in Abakaliki, where Umahi expressed gratitude for the President’s recent commendation of his infrastructural achievements.

Umahi described Tinubu’s recognition as invaluable, worth more than one trillion dollars, as it validated his efforts and demonstrated that his hard work was being acknowledged.

He stressed his commitment to the President, stating that having received trust and support from Tinubu, betrayal would be unacceptable.

Umahi warned that anyone who betrays such trust would face divine consequences.

The Minister highlighted the level of trust the President has placed in him, citing an example of a massive project worth N1.6 trillion, where he was given significant autonomy without undue interference.

“I have told the president even publicly that my loyalty is to God first and then, him.

“When a man gives you the type of trust Tinubu has given me, you will.be of the devil to betray him,” he said.

“Have you seen where a man presided over the procurement of a project worth N1.6 trillion and his boss did not call him to ask how he went about it?

“I am talking about one section of the project depending on the length.

“I pray everyday that if I place myself, family and friends over God, Tinubu and Nigerians, let Him not answer me,” he said.

Umahi vowed to continue praying for Tinubu and all those who love him and appreciate what his doing.

“I also dedicate the president’s commendation to all those who pray for me to succeed in serving the people.

“This means that contractors would be on their toes to complete about 30 mega projects which the president will inaugurate by Dec.20.

“I am involved in the construction and inspection of the projects scattered across the six geo-political zones of the country,” he said.
