Do you all remember the EkeObinagu Flyover, where traffic gridlock was once a normal pattern?
Here is the transformation President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has delivered through the Honourable Minister of Works, Sen. Engr. David Umahi, CON.
What was once a major traffic bottleneck has been transformed into a modern infrastructure solution designed to improve traffic flow, ease movement and make daily travel safer and more convenient for motorists and residents.
The transformation of EkeObinagu Flyover is more than a bridge. It is a visible sign of what happens when leadership meets vision, commitment and action.
This is infrastructure that speaks for itself.
This is the Renewed Hope Agenda at work.
❤️🇳🇬

UMAHI: “2027 WILL REPEAT EKITI’S VERDICT FOR TINUBU”; EKITI GOVERNOR CREDITS PRESIDENT’S ROAD REVOLUTION FOR APC LANDSLIDE VICTORY
The Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, has declared that the overwhelming support recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recent Ekiti State governorship election is a proof of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s performance in office, expressing confidence that the same outcome will be repeated in the 2027 presidential election.
Senator Umahi made the declaration on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, while receiving the Governor of Ekiti State, His Excellency Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, on a courtesy visit to the Federal Ministry of Works Headquarters in Mabushi, Abuja.
Congratulating Governor Oyebanji on his resounding electoral victory, the Minister also congratulated President Tinubu and the APC, describing the Ekiti election as a clear endorsement of the administration’s infrastructure and development agenda. “Let me congratulate you very highly, and then congratulate Mr. President and, by extension, our party, APC. It happened in Ekiti. It also happened in the off-cycle elections at the National Assembly across the country.”
The Minister said the growing acceptance of the APC across Nigeria is being driven by President Tinubu’s commitment to delivering visible infrastructure and ensuring that no part of the country is left behind. “Technically, APC spoke very loudly because of the great work that the President is doing. I congratulate you very seriously and assure you that the same way the President is intervening in Ekiti, he is intervening all over the country. There is no place where we have road challenges that the President is not intervening. It is for the first time that we have a fair distribution of infrastructure across the thirty-six states and the FCT.”
Expressing optimism about the President’s re-election, the Minister said: “As it happened in Ekiti, so shall it happen for the President in 2027.”
Senator Umahi also assured Governor Oyebanji that the newly approved Ado–Ijan–Ilumoba–Ikole Road project would be executed through a transparent procurement process. “We’re going to go through this project by due process, and any contractor that wins it through due process, we’ll let you know, so that you can monitor them.”
Earlier, the Governor of Ekiti State, His Excellency, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji attributed the APC’s unprecedented electoral success in Ekiti State to President Tinubu’s swift intervention in critical road infrastructure and Senator Umahi’s commitment to translating the President’s approvals into action.
The governor said the reconstruction of the Itawure–Aramoko–Ado Road ended years of abandoned promises and restored confidence among Ekiti people. “Mr. President initially approved the reconstruction of Itawure–Aramoko–Ado Road. This road has become a nightmare to Ekiti people. It’s a road that every four years, PDP governments would come and flag off, and there wouldn’t be any action.”
He recalled that after presenting the matter to Senator Umahi, the Minister immediately took it to President Tinubu, whose approval was followed by the rapid mobilisation of contractors to the project site. “I came to you, and you took it to Mr. President. Mr. President approved it, and we were shocked that three weeks after, contractors were already on the road. They mobilized to the site, and they are working.”
Governor Oyebanji said the prompt execution of the project inspired widespread appreciation for President Tinubu across the state and significantly influenced the outcome of the governorship election. “Because of that, Ekiti people felt a sense of appreciation to Mr. President, and they came out during the governorship election to express their gratitude to the President. It was the first time in our history that a party won in all the local governments, won in all the wards, and also polled 85.6 percent of the total number of votes.”
