My loyalty is to God first then Tinubu – David Umahi
Minister of Works, David Umahi, has affirmed that his loyalty is first to God and then to President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking with journalists in Abakaliki on Monday, Umahi stated that he takes instructions solely from both. He made the remark while responding to President Tinubu’s recent praise of his accomplishments in infrastructure development.
Describing the commendation as more valuable than a trillion dollars, Umahi said it reassures him that he is on the right path and that his prayers are being answered.
“I have told the President even publicly that my loyalty is to God first and then, him.
“When someone places the kind of trust in you that Tinubu has placed in me, it would be completely wrong and even devilish to betray that trust,” 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 every day that if I ever put myself, my family, or friends above God, Tinubu, and the Nigerian people, may God not answer my prayers,” the minister added.
“I also extend this recognition to all who have prayed for my success in serving the people.
“This means that contractors will be under pressure to complete around 30 major projects, which the President is set to inaugurate by December 20.
“I am actively engaged in the construction and inspection of projects spread across the six geo-political zones of the country.”
