(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has stated that President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State will complete their eight years in power.

Umahi stated this while launching the second phase construction of Kaduna-Abuja-Kano road project.

The former Ebonyi State governor also slammed the opposition coalition saying that they should be constructive and not destructive.

The African Examiner recalls that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and a chieftain of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, had earlier announced a coalition with the aim of removing Tinubu from power.

Also, on Friday, Atiku, El-Rufai and some former governors had a meeting with ex-President, Muhammadu Buhari and opposition figures in Kaduna State.

Reacting, Umahi said: “I want to assure you, my dear governor, Uba Sani, that I’m also a prophet. It was only David in the Bible that was prophet and a preacher, and God has told me that you will do 8 years, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do 8 years.

“The voice of God is the voice of men, but let me advice the so-called coalition and opposition, when you are in opposition, you are doing constructive opposition not destructive ones.

“You have to provide alternatives to what you are criticizing, talk is cheap and the work 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 to anything; but I want to thank the president and financial institutions – just a few days ago said the reforms of Mr President are working.

“They said the Nigerian financial issue is upgraded and the World Bank said so. So, who is the opposition that darkens counsel without knowledge.
