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.
