2027: Efforts of opposition will end in failure- Umahi
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has berated the opposition figures planning a coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, asserting that their efforts would end in failure.
Umahi said the recent Fitch ratings were evidence that the reforms of Tinubu’s administration are yielding positive results.
The recently released Fitch Ratings portrayed a stable outlook as Nigeria recorded an upgrade in Nigeria’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating to ‘B’, from ‘B-’.
Umahi spoke on Sunday during the flag-off of the 282km reconstruction of the Abuja-Kano road, awarded at a total cost of N777bn, with a 14-month completion timeline.
Declaring that “the worst is over,” Umahi said the opposition only engaged in cheap talk devoid of advancing alternate options.
He said, “Let me advise the so-called coalition or opposition. When you are in opposition, you are doing constructive opposition, not destructive ones. You have to provide an alternative to what you are criticising.
“Talk is cheap and the job is very easy when you are not the one doing it. Opposition is to provide alternatives. I have never seen any opposition providing an alternative over anything. But I want to thank God for the President”.
Declaring himself a prophet, Umahi said Tinubu had performed exceedingly well and would secure a second term in office.
“And I want to assure you my governor, that I am also a prophet. It was only David who was a prophet and priest and God has told me that President Bola Tinubu will do eight years; Governor Uba Sani will do eight years,” he said.
