Minister of Works, David Umahi claims God told him that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration will last for eight years.

He made the disclosure during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics while expressing hope about Tinubu’s prospects for re-election in 2027.

Recall that in March 2023, INEC declared Tinubu winner of the presidential election and he was subsequently sworn in on May 29, 2023.

With barely a year in office, Umahi said God, who brought Tinubu to power, revealed to him in a vision that Tinubu would do two terms in office

The former governor of Ebonyi State said: “You must know that the coming onboard of Mr President is divine. When God starts a thing, He completes it. 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.

“You can see the miracle that Mr President is doing through the inspiration of God Almighty who brought him to right all the wrongs. 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.”

Also, speaking about the maintenance of Third Mainland Bridge, Umahi said the work is almost finished as 99 percent of the repairs have been done.

He said; “When you talk about the total rehabilitation of the bridge, you talk about the deck. Mr President has released the money and I can say that 99 per cent of the project is done. But what is to be done is additional work: we are putting up solar lights; we are replacing the generator lights with solar lights.

We are putting up CCTV both on top of the bridge and under the bridge because the president told me that part of the problem we are having is people who are illegally mining the sand. And I agree with him. I have seen it.

They even go as far as destroying the concrete to anchor their small boats. The top of the deck is completed.”
