Speaking to journalists in Abakaliki, on Monday, June 9, Umahi was responding to Tinubu’s recent praise for his performance on key infrastructure projects.
The former Ebonyi governor described the president’s commendation as worth more than “one trillion dollars,” saying it affirmed that he was on the right path.
“I have told the president even publicly that my loyalty is to God first and then, him,” Umahi said.
“When a man gives you the type of trust Tinubu has given me, you will be of the devil to betray him,” he added.
