My Family Doesn’t Need Nigeria’s Wealth To Survive, God Has Blessed Us – Remi Tinubu
The wife of the President-elect, Remi Tinubu, has stated that the wealth of the country belongs to citizens, saying that her family does not need Nigeria’s money to survive.
She promised that with the help of God and the support of the citizens, the incoming administration would set the nation on the right path.
Remi Tinubu spoke while representing her husband at the inauguration inter-denominational church service at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, on Sunday.
She said, “Nigeria’s wealth is the commonwealth of all. It belongs to everyone. God has blessed my family. We don’t need the wealth of Nigeria to survive but to do the right thing. And I promise you on this altar, that with your help, with the help of God, we will set this nation on the right path.”
According to Mrs Tinubu, the events that played out during the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) where her husband emerged winner, showed that God was with the President-elect.
She added, “God has been merciful to us. I can tell you on my own that we never believed this could happen. But thank God for giving us hope, for giving us the resilience to continue in the race of life.
“Asiwaju is 71 and I will be 63. I will be one of the oldest first ladies Nigeria would have. We need the grace of God and we need everyone to do what Nigerians are expecting.
“Today, God has really proved himself as he did on the night of the primaries and put his seal on it. Because, when I saw the votes count to be 1,271, I said God it means you are here.
“I was humbled to my rock bottom. And to believe that this is the seventh consecutive democratic transition Nigeria will be experiencing shows that this is a time of perfection for Nigeria.
“Perfection in the sense that, in the word of God, I remember for over two years we have been praying in our churches, according to Isaiah 43:18-19, that we should not remember the former things, that God is going to do a new thing. A new thing came and we still kept arguing with God. Who can argue with his maker? No one.“
