‘Those criticizing Tinubu are enemies of Nigeria’ – Umahi
Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi has dismissed critics of President Bola Tinubu’s reforms as envious and labeled them as adversaries of Nigeria. Speaking during a Senate Committee on Works public hearing in Abuja, Umahi assured that the ongoing reforms will strengthen the economy over time. He emphasized that leaders across various sectors understand the reforms and are working collaboratively to achieve their goals.
He believed that Tinubu was turning around the nation on a positive note, adding that critics never believed that the President could do that within the shortest time he ascended.
“Mr. President had this dream of making Nigeria better for the past 25 years as a governor and now God has given him the opportunity to serve the country and to actualize his dream so he has no choice than to perform”
“It’s very rare for a president to agree to continue the whole project of his predecessor,” he said.
Umahi maintained that “when people stop this suspicion character and digest the coastal road project very well, then they will know it’s a catalyst for the growth of every state in this country.”
He further explained that the diversion of the road when work got to 16 kilometers was due to the African communication cable that came from the ocean but was reconnected at kilometer 26 to avoid the ugly experiences of the past.
