Minister of Works Dave Umahi announced on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu’s administration will receive divine guidance to lead Nigeria through 2031.
Speaking during an inspection of Lagos State bridge projects, Umahi noted that this continuity is vital for national development and resolving pressing issues like insecurity.
He also confirmed that the reconstruction of the Carter Bridge is set to begin next week.
“The same God that brought him is going to be there to solve all the problems,” Umahi said while appealing to Nigerians to support and cooperate with the current administration in its efforts to tackle security concerns across the country.
He noted that no leader desires instability during their tenure, but added that any responsible government must confront challenges directly 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 further stated that regardless of whether the country’s security challenges were politically motivated or not, he believed Tinubu would receive the wisdom and strength required to overcome them and address other national issues.
The minister also expressed confidence that the present administration would complete all projects initiated under its watch.
“Your hands that have started this will complete it,” Umahi stated, adding that the government remained confident that Tinubu’s leadership continued to enjoy divine favour.
Speaking on the Carter Bridge project, the minister disclosed that the reconstruction of the bridge is expected to be completed within three years.
“It is within our five-year plan,” he added.
