God will keep Tinubu in power until 2031 – Umahi

Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has expressed confidence that God will continue to guide President Bola Tinubu in leading Nigeria up to 2031 for the development of the country.

This was disclosed by Umahi on Thursday while inspecting some ongoing bridge projects in Lagos State which include the Carter Bridge scheduled for reconstruction next week.

The minister said Tinubu’s administration would continue to enjoy divine support to address the challenges facing the nation especially insecurity.

“The God that brought him will be there to solve all the problems,” Umahi said, appealing to Nigerians to support and cooperate with the current administration in its efforts to tackle security concerns across the country.

“No leader wants instability while they are in power,” he said, but “any responsible government will meet the challenges head-on as they arise.”

“No leader will want to have a violent reign, but when the crises come, the leader must face it. That’s exactly what we are doing,” he said.

Umahi further said that irrespective of whether the security challenges of the country were politically motivated or not, he believed that Tinubu would be given the wisdom and strength to overcome them and address other national issues.

The minister also expressed optimism that the present administration would complete all projects embarked upon under its watch.

Umahi added that the government was confident that the leadership of Tinubu was still enjoying divine favour. “The hands that started this will finish it.

On the Carter Bridge project, the minister said the reconstruction of the bridge will be completed within three years.

“It’s within our five-year plan,” he said.
