Nigeria@63–My husband is not a magician”- First Lady Remi Tinubu

Amidst celebrations of Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Anniversary, wife of the nation’s president, Oluremi Tinubu on Sunday, said her husband, President Bola Tinubu is not a magician.

This was as the president’s wife assured that her husband was working hard to bring an end to the long time suffering of Nigerians without blaming anyone or any administration for the current situation.

Mrs Oluremi Tinubu was speaking at an interdenominational church service organized to mark Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Anniversary in Abuja when she made the statement.

The church service was tagged, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

The first lady 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,” she said.

“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,” 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 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,” she said.
