Stop Insulting President Tinubu, Insecurity Didn’t Start With Tinubu” – Umahi Knocks Opposition

Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has strongly defended President Bola Tinubu against criticisms regarding the nation’s security challenges, urging opponents to stop what he described as unfair attacks on the President.

In a pointed remark, Umahi stated that insecurity did not begin under the current administration and questioned the timing of its escalation, particularly during election periods.

“Stop insulting President Tinubu. Insecurity did not start under his administration. Why is it that anytime there is an election, insecurity increases? It is unfair. God is watching those behind the insecurity. We are praying for President Tinubu,” the Minister declared.

Umahi, who was reacting to growing criticisms from opposition figures, accused them of politicising the security situation in the country.

He maintained that the government under President Tinubu is working tirelessly to address security concerns across Nigeria, even as he called for divine intervention against those he believes are orchestrating violence for political gains.

The Minister’s comments come amid continued debates over the state of security in parts of the country, with opposition parties frequently linking the challenges to the policies and leadership of the Tinubu administration.

Umahi emphasised that such criticisms are not only misplaced but also untimely, stressing that the administration deserves support and prayers rather than constant condemnation.

Political observers note that Umahi’s robust defence reflects the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) strategy to counter narratives being pushed by opposition elements ahead of future electoral cycles.
