Senator Remi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has called on Nigerians to place their trust in her husband’s ability to bring about positive change in the country. Emphasizing that her husband is not a magician, she affirmed his commitment to improving the lives of citizens step by step.
During the inter-denominational church service held to mark Independence Day in Abuja on Sunday, Senator Tinubu expressed her husband’s determination not to solely blame past administrations but to diligently work towards the nation’s transformation.
She said, “We just came back from UNGA; it was successful for us as a nation. The world awaits Nigeria, and investors are teeming. We came back with good news. All we inherited are things that happened many years ago. We are not here to put the blame on any administration, but to fix what has been damaged.
“My husband is not a magician. He is going to work brick-by-brick, and I hope you will have faith in this administration. The best is yet to come.”
As the nation marks her 63rd Independence Day Anniversary, the First Lady appealed to Nigerians to celebrate the unity that defines our diversity
She urged Nigerians to look beyond the current realities on the ground and have hope in her husband’s administration.
She said, “Nigerians must look beyond their current realities and embrace hope anew. If we do not have hope, how do we become part of this greatness that God has started in the nation? We find a deeper message of hope through the love of Christ, especially in the theme for this year’s celebration, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.
“Good governance can only be impactful if we all 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. ”
Quoting Matthew 11 vs. 28, she said the challenges bedeviling the nation could be surmounted.
She said, “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; come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and lean on me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest with your souls. In times like these, all we do is keep our hope alive, the lively hope that Jesus Christ has birthed in us.”
