Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will continue to receive divine guidance to lead Nigeria until 2031, saying God will help the administration overcome the nation’s challenges and advance development.
Umahi made the remark on Thursday while inspecting ongoing bridge projects in Lagos State, including the Carter Bridge, which is scheduled for reconstruction from next week.
According to the minister, Tinubu’s government will continue to enjoy divine support in tackling critical national issues, particularly insecurity.
“The same God that brought him is going to be there to solve all the problems,” Umahi said, while urging Nigerians to support the administration’s efforts to address security challenges across the country.
He stressed that no leader wishes for instability during their tenure but noted that responsible leadership requires confronting challenges whenever they arise.
“There is no leader who will not want his reign to be peaceful, but when crises come, the leader must confront them. That is exactly what we are doing,” he said.
Umahi added that regardless of whether the country’s security problems are politically motivated, he believes Tinubu will be granted the wisdom and strength needed to resolve them and tackle other national concerns.
The minister also expressed optimism that all projects initiated by the current administration would be completed successfully.
“Your hands that have started this will complete it,” Umahi stated, maintaining that the government remains convinced that Tinubu’s leadership enjoys divine favour.
Speaking on the Carter Bridge reconstruction, Umahi disclosed that the project is expected to be completed within three years.
“It is within our five-year plan,” he added.
