Sen. David Umahi, Minister of Works, has urged the “Atikulated” and “Obidients” (common names for the supporters of the PDP and Labour Party presidential candidates, respectively) to leave President Bola Tinubu alone.
In Abuja on Tuesday, Umahi was speaking as he unveiled the Ministry’s new policy orientation.
He characterized as unfortunate the unwholesome attention being given to requests for the publication of President Tinubu’s academic records by Chicago State University since the President’s performance throughout his public life demonstrates the character of “an A student.”
The Minister said,
“This (President Bola Tinubu) is a man who is the answer to the prayers of Nigerians to God.
“This is a man who has passed through all the stages… look at his appointments in the FCT, Works, Finance and all others. This President is the last hope for this country, his renewed hope agenda needs the support of all of us.
“All those ‘Atikulated and Obidients’, let them bring their (principals) who filed WAEC certificates; what did they score? They are challenging someone who is an ‘A’ student.”
The minister came down hard on some
State Controllers of Works whom he accused of failing to live up to their obligations of ensuring road projects are properly done.
He said save for the Director in the South West and his team whom he gave a pass mark, the rest need to sit up or risk losing their positions.
