Minister of works Dave Umahi believes President Bola Tinubu is divinely destined to rule Nigeria for eight years.
Tinubu came to power last May and is in his first year of a four-year tenure.
But Umahi, who is the immediate past governor of Ebonyi State, is optimistic about Tinubu’s re-election chances when Nigerians head to the polls in 2027 – over three years away from now.
“You must know that the coming onboard of Mr President is divine. When God starts a thing, he completes it,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“So, I strongly believe and I am persuaded to let you know that God told me that this administration will last eight years because this administration is born of God. Umahi believes the TInubu-led government is on the right path to restoring the country’s dignity.
“You can see the miracle that Mr President is doing through the inspiration of God Almighty who brought him to right all the wrongs,” the minister noted on the show.
“So, we are taking back this country and giving back this country to Nigerians and that’s what Mr President has come to do and we are just there to give him support.”
He also spoke about the repair work on the Third Mainland Bridge, saying 99 percent of it is done.
“Once the major work is completed, the bridge will be open in the coming days,” the minister said.
