The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has emphasized that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, is not a magician who can solve all of the country’s problems in a flash.
Tinubu’s wife stated this on Sunday during an interdenominational church service in Abuja, marking Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Anniversary under the theme “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
She addressed the challenges facing the country, stating that the Tinubu administration inherited longstanding issues but is committed to addressing them without assigning blame to any specific administration.
The First Lady stressed that they are focused on fixing the damage without expecting miraculous solutions, asserting that her husband is not a magician. Instead, he is dedicated to the task ahead, and she expressed optimism that the nation will experience positive changes.
She said, “All we inherited are things that had happened many years ago; we are not here to put blame on any administration but to fix what has been damaged.
“My husband is not a magician; he is going to work and I believe and hope that we will have peace in this country; the best is yet to come to us.
“Good governance can only be impactful if the people follow the example of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who embodied the fruit of the spirit, including love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance and forgiveness.
“A Nigeria of abundance has begun, and to be part of the greatness that God has started in the nation, Nigerians must look beyond their current realities and embrace hope anew.
“There is no challenge, obstacle or difficulty that we cannot overcome or surmount if we imbibe the nature of Christ who said in Matthew 11:28 that ‘come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’.
“In times like these, all we do is to keep our hope alive, the lively hope which Jesus Christ has birthed in us,” Remi Tinubu added.
KanyiDaily recalls that President Bola Tinubu recently declared that Nigeria should not endure poverty, insecurity, and underdevelopment, given its abundant human resources and natural wealth.
