Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has lavished praise on President Bola Tinubu, commending his leadership style and unwavering support for the Ministry of Works. In a broadcast covered by Symfoni TV, Umahi declared his total loyalty to the President, vowing to stand by him through any storm — even if it means taking a bullet.

 

“I have never worked with a leader like President Tinubu,” Umahi said. “The kind of support and encouragement he gives me is unmatched. It gives me the strength and the boldness to do my job. I am completely loyal to him, and I promise to give him my full support.”

 

In a show of deep personal allegiance, Umahi did not hold back in expressing his commitment to the President. “We will take bullets for you,” he said. “It doesn’t matter the attack. My loyalty is first to God Almighty and to you, Mr. President.”

 

The former governor of Ebonyi State praised Tinubu’s hands-on approach and visionary direction in the area of infrastructure, emphasizing that the President’s backing has empowered the Ministry of Works to accelerate the delivery of key national projects.

 

“This is not politics — this is performance. And under President Tinubu, we are going to see a new Nigeria built with roads, bridges, and infrastructure that stand the test of time,” Umahi said.

 

Umahi’s bold statement comes amid rising political pressure and public scrutiny of Tinubu’s administration over economic challenges and policy reforms. His pledge of loyalty and readiness to defend the President is likely to stir reactions both within and outside the political class.

 

As Minister of Works, Umahi has overseen several ongoing projects across the country, including the reconstruction of federal highways and the push for alternative concrete road technology. He reiterated his commitment to doing more.

 

“With President Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria’s infrastructure revolution is not a dream — it is a mission, and we will accomplish it,” Umahi assured.

 

The minister’s statements reflect a growing trend of high-profile cabinet members publicly aligning themselves with Tinubu’s agenda, even as opposition voices intensify their criticism ahead of the next electoral cycle.
