Umahi made the remarks while addressing supporters, stating that God has blessed his family beyond wealth and that they now possess the financial capability to support major political and development initiatives.
According to the minister, his current position at the federal level has expanded his reach, resources, and ability to contribute to national progress, compared to his time as a state governor.
He also credited divine favor for his family’s success, saying the Umahi family is now well positioned to fund projects and political engagements without external dependence.
Umahi’s comments have sparked conversations across political circles, with analysts noting that the statement reflects growing confidence among key figures within President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as preparations gradually build toward future political contests.
Supporters describe his remarks as a show of gratitude and strength, while critics argue they highlight Nigeria’s ongoing debate over power, influence, and wealth in public service.
