Umahi: My loyalty is to Tinubu — he entrusted me with N1.6trn project

David Umahi, minister of works, says his highest loyalty, after God, is to President Bola Tinubu.
According to NAN, Umahi made the remarks in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi state, in response to Tinubu’s recent commendation of infrastructure development efforts.
The minister said the commendation was worth more than money to him because it affirmed that he is on track.
“I have told the president even publicly that my loyalty is to God first, and then to him,” Umahi was quoted as saying.

“When a man gives you the type of trust Tinubu has given me, you will be of the devil to betray him.
“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 everyday that if I place myself, family and friends over God, Tinubu and Nigerians, let him not answer me.
“I also dedicate the president’s commendation to all those who pray for me to succeed in serving the people.
“This means that contractors would be on their toes to complete about 30 mega projects, which the president will inaugurate by December 20.
“I am involved in the construction and inspection of the projects scattered across the six geo-political zones of the country.”

Umahi added that he is committed to completing all projects on or before schedule.
