Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has claimed God revealed to him that President Bola Tinubu will complete eight years in office.
Umahi made the claim during the flag off ceremony of the Kaduna-Abuja Highway second phase construction on Monday.
Citing the biblical narratives on David, Umahi claimed to be a prophet and had seen Tinubu as well as Kaduna state governor, Uba Sani, emerging for second term in office.
“I want to assure you my dear Governor that I’m also a Prophet. It was only David in the Bible that was a Prophet, and a Priest and God has told me that you will do eight years and Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do eight years.” The Minister said.
While stressing that the voice of God is voice of men, Umahi accused opposition parties of making destructive criticism about the Tinubu-led administration without providing alternatives.
He maintained that Nigeria has gone over its worst times as proven by commendations from a French financial institution and the World Bank.
“The voice of God is the voice of men. Let me advise the so-called coalitions or oppositions. When you are in opposition, you are doing constructive opposition, not destructive one.
“You have to provide alternatives to back your criticism. Talk is cheap and the job is very easy when you are not the one doing it. Opposition is to provide alternatives. I’ve never seen any opposition providing alternatives over anything. But I want to thank God for the President. The French financial institution just few days ago said the reforms of Mr. President are working. They said that Nigeria financially is upgraded. The World Bank also said so.
“So, who is the opposition that darkens counsel without knowledge? Nigeria is working, The worst is over and God is with us.” Umahi added.
