David Umahi, the Minister of Works, has described the leadership of President Bola Tinubu as a divine intervention meant to reset Nigeria for the benefit of its citizens. Speaking in Bauchi State during a courtesy visit to Governor Bala Mohammed on Thursday, Umahi, who previously served as the governor of Ebonyi State, expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s ability to address the country’s challenges.<\/p>\n
During his visit, which also aimed to sympathize with the people of Bauchi over a recent flood disaster that claimed seven lives, destroyed homes, and damaged roads across the state, Umahi acknowledged the difficult economic situation the current administration inherited. Despite these challenges, he assured that President Tinubu is working tirelessly to turn things around.<\/p>\n
“President Tinubu is a technocrat who understands the complexities of the situation in Nigeria,” Umahi said. “He is committed to changing the narrative for the better, and he deserves the support and prayers of all Nigerians.”<\/p>\n
Umahi emphasized the importance of national unity and the need for collective effort in supporting the president’s vision. “We don\u2019t have any other country,” he stated. “I ask for your support and that of the people of Bauchi to back him in this mission.”<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the challenges faced during the election, particularly in the South-East regarding the Muslim-Muslim ticket, Umahi insisted that Tinubu’s presidency was ordained by God. “Even when there were concerns in the South-East, I maintained that it was the will of God for President Tinubu to lead and reset our nation.”<\/p>\n
The minister praised Tinubu’s bold and decisive actions since taking office, even though some of these decisions may not yet be fully understood by the general public. “When you have someone who is sick, the first step is to administer first aid and then conduct tests to diagnose the problem,” Umahi explained. “The president, being a technocrat, is fully aware of the country’s situation and is implementing measures to alleviate the sufferings of the people.”<\/p>\n
Umahi highlighted several initiatives spearheaded by the Tinubu administration, including cash transfers, student loans, and the adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a solution to the country’s energy needs. He also commended the president’s efforts in improving security and road infrastructure across the nation.<\/p>\n
Addressing concerns from the North-East about perceived neglect in the past, Umahi reassured that the president is committed to addressing these issues. “The North-East has felt shortchanged in the past, but President Tinubu is determined to change the narrative,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
