Nigeria Minister of Works, David Umahi has lamented the worsening security situation in the country, linking the recent surge to the forthcoming general elections.
The Minister, who spoke on Thursday while flagging-off a road project in Gombe State, questioned why insecurity is always heightened in a build up to general elections.
“Security should not be politicized. It should not be weaponized. Why is it that anytime we are trying to have an election, there is heightened insecurity?
“This is very concerning because anybody who takes the life of others under any guise, God is watching, and God is going to pay back”, he said.
The Minister, who alleged politization of the security situation to grab power in 2027, said such politicians would be resisted by God.
“If anybody has a hand in insecurity because the person wants power, God will resist such a person”, he added.
The former governor of Ebonyi State also assured Nigerians that the phase will pass and normalcy will be restored again.
“So we stand with the President, we pray for him, and we work with him. This phase will also pass, and we will win our election by God’s special grace”, he said.
