Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu will tackle Nigeria’s insecurity challenges within the next four years if given another mandate.

n

Umahi made the declaration on Saturday at Umunaga Ward in his Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State during the APC presidential primary election.

n

He said the 5,009 party members who turned out at the ward to elect President Tinubu as the party’s candidate for the 2027 general election shows the peoples trust and confidence in the president.

n

Addressing party faithful and leaders at the event, Umahi described Ebonyi State as a stronghold of the President and All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that the people had resolved to demonstrate total loyalty and support for President Tinubu and the ruling party.

n

“Ebonyi State is totally APC. We are only APC,” Umahi declared, adding that there was no other political party in Ohaozara Local Government Area apart from the APC.

n

He said the massive turnout of party members showed the people’s appreciation for Tinubu’s administration, especially for the appointments and infrastructure projects being executed across the South-East region.

n

According to him, President Tinubu has integrated the South-East into national politics through key appointments and developmental projects.

n

“Bola Tinubu is the Biafra we have been looking for. A man who has integrated the entire South-East, given us juicy appointments and very important infrastructure,” he said.

n

Speaking on the economic reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration, Umahi acknowledged the difficulties Nigerians initially faced but insisted that the policies had stabilized the nation’s economy.

n

“I laugh when people talk about the hardship caused by the reforms. Nobody has been able to say where Nigeria would have been without them,” he stated.

n

He maintained that the country had passed through the most difficult phase, expressing optimism that the benefits of the reforms would soon reach ordinary Nigerians at the grassroots.

n

“The macroeconomy is stable and the President is now taking it down to the microeconomy. The worst is over and Nigerians will soon begin to see the benefits,” Umahi added.

n

He also commended the Federal Government’s ongoing road and bridge projects across the country, saying they were clear signs that the administration was reclaiming and rebuilding critical infrastructure across all the geopolitical zones.
