ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Minister of Works, David Umahi has said that President Bola Tinubu’s government is born of God and will last for eight years.
The former Ebonyi State Governor who once stated that God told him to contest for presidency in 2023, made this statement in an interview with Channels TV on Sunday.

“I strongly believe and I am persuaded to let you know that God told me that this administration will last eight years because this administration is born of God.”
The president on Friday clocked 72 years old. He decided not to mark the occasion but asked his friends and associates wishing to celebrate him to donate money to charity organisations in his name instead of placing adverts in newspapers or radio.
“During an auspicious occasion like this, it is customary for family members, friends, and associates to celebrate him in different ways.
“President Tinubu, in deference to this challenging time, said he will not host any birthday event and does not want any of his associates and numerous well-wishers to organise any celebratory event on his behalf or in his name,” said a statement by his media aide Bayo Onanuga said.
Meanwhile, Tinubu would be 79 at the end of the eight-year reign that Umahi claimed God ordained.
