"Your struggle for the redemocratization of Nigeria and your emergence as the 5th democratically elected President of the 4th Republic are a clear indication of God’s unction in your enduring vision to achieve the purpose of our democratic journey which is economic prosperity and social justice. 

"History will be kind to you for raising dispassionate standards and taking bold decisions that will return our country to the path of greatness in the continent of Africa."

The minister disclosed that Tinubu made gratifying progress in deepening and fast-tracking the gains of democracy through record-breaking accomplishments in road infrastructure, which are distributed equitably across the six geo-political zones.

"You have continued to blaze the trail in the passionate delivery of enduring infrastructure, which is critical for the nation’s developmental progress, especially your initiative to expand the nation's road network and interconnect the major economic corridors through the four Renewed Hope Legacy Projects.  

"Under your Excellency, we savour a brand new era of regenerative democracy where the institutions and authorities work deliberately and collectively to achieve a nation of equal opportunities irrespective of tribe, religion, or social class. 

Umahi praised the leadership of the National Assembly and the Judiciary as the pillars of democracy.

He prayed that God will continue to prosper the President and grant him  the grace and enablement to achieve his desires for the nation. 

"Please accept the warmest congratulations, esteemed regards, and best wishes of the management and staff of the Federal Ministry of Works," he added.
