The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has said he received a divine revelation affirming that God’s “mighty hands” are upon President Bola Tinubu.
Umahi made the remarks during the opening of the Eke Obinagu–Emene flyover to traffic, a project aimed at easing congestion ahead of the Easter celebrations.
According to the minister, the Southeast region is no longer marginalized and is now actively represented in the current administration.
He noted that the region holds key positions, including his role as Minister of Works and the appointment of two service chiefs.
“God has spoken to me that His mighty hands are upon President Bola Tinubu. Our people must be strategic.
“The marginalization we’re talking about is over. For the first time, we’re in the helm of affairs,” Umahi said.
Umahi acknowledged that while the Southeast aspires to produce a president in the future, there is a need to support the incumbent administration.
He also claimed that governors in the region are backing Tinubu’s leadership.
Umahi further urged political leaders in the Southeast to openly declare their support for the president and mobilize their constituents accordingly.
“I want to plead with Southeast leaders to be bold in convincing our people on the need to vote for Mr President. If you’re a leader in the Southeast and you’re not vocal in the declaration, then you’re not for us,” he said.
The minister emphasized that governance should focus on development, infrastructure, fairness, equity, and justice, urging the region to recognize ongoing federal efforts and anticipate more benefits.
