Umahi vowed to continue praying for Mr Tinubu and all those who love him and appreciate what he is doing.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has declared that after God, his loyalty lies with President Bola Tinubu, saying he takes instructions only from the duo.
Mr Umahi made the declaration in Abakaliki while speaking with journalists on the president’s recent commendation of him over some infrastructural feats.
The minister said the commendation was worth more than $1 trillion to him, as it shows he was on the right track and that God answers prayers.
“I have told the president, even publicly, that my loyalty is to God first and then him,” Mr Umahi said. “When a man gives you the type of trust Tinubu has given me, you will be of the devil to betray him.”
He said anyone who betrayed Mr Tinubu after receiving such a level of trust and support would incur the wrath of God.
“Have you seen where a man presided over the procurement of a project worth N1.6 trillion, and his boss did not call him to ask how he went about it?
“I am talking about one section of the project, depending on the length. I pray every day that if I place myself, family and friends over God, Tinubu and Nigerians, let Him not answer me,” he said.
Mr Umahi vowed to continue praying for Mr Tinubu and all those who love him and appreciate what he is doing.
“I also dedicate the president’s commendation to all those who pray for me to succeed in serving the people.
“This means that contractors would be on their toes to complete about 30 mega projects, which the president will inaugurate by December 20.
“I am involved in the construction and inspection of the projects scattered across the six geopolitical zones of the country,” he said.
