Saturday, December 07, 2024 -Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi has claimed that those criticizing the reform of President Bola Tinubu were doing that out of jealousy and should be considered as enemies of Nigeria
He said this while assuring that the current reform embarked upon by
President Tinubu will reposition the economy in good time.
Umahi spoke on the sideline of an investigative public hearing by the
Senate Committee on Works in Abuja on Friday, noting that the reform is
understood to all those heading various sectors of the economy and they are all
working towards actualising it.
Speaking on the controversy surrounding the Lagos – Calabar coastal
project, Umahi said the criticism is “borne out of envy and jealousy”.
“Mr. President had this dream of making Nigeria better for the past 25
years as a governor and now God has given him the opportunity to serve the
country and to actualize his dream so he has no choice than to perform”
“It’s very rare for a president to agree to continue the whole project
of his predecessor,” he said.
He believed that Tinubu was turning around the nation on a positive
note, adding that critics never believed that the President could do that
within the shortest time he ascended.
Umahi maintained that “when people stop this suspicion character and
digest the coastal road project very well, then they will know it’s a catalyst
for the growth of every state in this country.”
He further explained that the diversion of the road when work got to 16
kilometers was due to the African communication cable that came from the ocean,
but was reconnected at kilometer 26 to avoid ugly experiences of the past.
