As reported by Vanguard newspaper, Umahi stated this when he inspected a project in Aba on Saturday, January 27.
Umahi said it was not ideal for some people to destroy public infrastructure in pursuit of their selfish interests while President Tinubu had sleepless nights over Nigeria’s challenges.
The minister said:

More than a third of the country’s population is currently unemployed and Nigerians expect Tinubu, 71, to create jobs, and fix the free-falling economy in line with his campaign promises.
The president will also deal with nearly two decades-high inflation and epileptic power generation.
