Works minister David Umahi says it is the will of God for Bola Tinubu to reset Nigeria for the betterment of the citizens.
Umahi made these remarks in Bauchi on Thursday during a courtesy visit to Governor Bala Mohammed.
Mr. Umahi visited Bauchi to express his sympathy to the governor and the people of the state over the flood disaster that claimed seven lives, destroyed homes, and washed away roads across the region.
The minister noted that the current administration inherited a weak economy but assured that Mr. Tinubu is doing everything possible to improve the situation.
He said the president deserved the support and prayers of Nigerians, adding, “We don’t have any other country, and I want to ask for your support and that of the Bauchi people to support him. For me, even when there were challenges in the South-East in terms of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, I kept saying that it was the will of God for the president to come and reset the nation and retake our nation.
“The president has taken wide and courageous decisions but it may not be very clear to the citizens, especially those who are not deeply exposed. When you have somebody that is sick, the first thing you do is to give a first aid and then begin to do tests to find out find out the problem but the good thing is that the president is a technocrat, he knows everything about the situation in the country.
“He is doing a lot to alleviate the sufferings of the people. When you talk about the cash transfer, the student loan, the CNG to answer to the needs of our energy.”
The minister said the ministry had identified a failure in three sections of the Kano-Maiduguri expressway at Azare and Yana in Katagum and Shira LGA.
“There is also a failure at two locations on Azare-Misau road. All would be attended to in no distant time,” said Mr Umahi.
Mr Mohammed urged the federal government to expand the scope of its Legacy Road projects to the North-East.
