Minister David Umahi Slams Critics of President Tinubu Over Insecurity

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has expressed disappointment over the manner in which some individuals criticise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding the country's security challenges. Umahi made this statement during a town hall meeting organised by the Gombe State Government, which took place after the unveiling of the proposed Gombe Super Highway project. He noted that it is unfortunate for people, especially politicians, to insult the President as if the insecurity issues in the country began during his administration. According to Umahi, security challenges have been a long-standing issue and should not be politicised. He stated, 'Security is the job of everyone. Security should not be politicised. Why is it that anytime we are approaching elections, there is heightened insecurity? It is very unfair. Anyone who takes the life of another person under any guise, God is watching.' Umahi also prayed for the safe return of persons recently abducted in different parts of the country and expressed his support for the President, saying, 'We stand with the President, we pray for him, and this phase will pass. We will overcome.'
