Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday described President Bola Tinubu as a deliverer of projects.
Akpabio also described Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, as a miracle worker.
The Senate President, who represented Tinubu, spoke during the commissioning of the newly constructed Airport Road (Bill Clinton Drive) To Tungan Madaki Community as part of projects to mark Tinubu’s third year in office.
Akpabio expressed confidence that the newly constructed road would last for 40 years without potholes.
He said: “The Minister of the FCT, the miracle worker and Mr project, as you were speaking I felt a little bit emotional so because of that I would stick to Mr President’s address.
“I also come from a community so I know what it means to stay for 37 or 40 years without a road and coincidentally the company that constructed this road worked with me for eight years of my administration as a governor.
“One of the roads that they did for me was commissioned about 15 years ago and till today, there is no pot hole. So when I came and saw that they handled this road, I was very sure that particularly with the terrain in the FCT, we are looking at 25 years without a pothole.
“So I want to commend you for using very good construction companies.
“I’m here to represent the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, I think they should call him Mr deliverer, a man who delivers and doesn’t matter if they criticize him he continues to deliver.
“Mr project, it doesn’t matter if they like or hate you, you continue to deliver.
“I knew that you would carry the work you did from Rivers State to the FCT, but they were skeptical. A lot of people did not know that the former governor of Rivers State could come here and do the kind of miracle you are doing on a daily basis.
“This is the first time in the history of Nigeria that a minister would fix commissioning for 30 days in a month. I appreciate Tinubu who brought this miracle work and Mr project to the FCT, sir I appreciate it and thank you.”
