Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi has claimed that those criticizing the reform of President Bola Tinubu were doing that out of jealousy and should be considered as enemies of Nigeria.

He said this while assuring that the current reform embarked upon by President Tinubu will reposition the economy in good time.

Umahi spoke on the sideline of an investigative public hearing by the Senate Committee on Works in Abuja on Friday, noting that the reform is understood to all those heading various sectors of the economy and they are all working towards actualising it.

Speaking on the controversy surrounding the Lagos – Calabar coastal project, Umahi said the criticism is “borne out of envy and jealousy”.

“Mr. President had this dream of making Nigeria better for the past 25 years as a governor and now God has given him the opportunity to serve the country and to actualize his dream so he has no choice than to perform”

“It’s very rare for a president to agree to continue the whole project of his predecessor,” he said.

He believed that Tinubu was turning around the nation on a positive note, adding that critics never believed that the President could do that within the shortest time he ascended.

Umahi maintained that “when people stop this suspicion character and digest the coastal road project very well, then they will know it’s a catalyst for the growth of every state in this country.”

He further explained that the diversion of the road when work got to 16 kilometers was due to the African communication cable that came from the ocean, but was reconnected at kilometer 26 to avoid ugly experiences of the past.
