My husband is not a magician, he’ll work brick-by-brick – Remi Tinubu

 

The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, on Sunday said her husband, President Bola Tinubu, is not a magician.

She however said President Tinubu had accepted to fix damaged things he inherited.

She made the remarks in Abuja at the interdenominational church service to mark Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Anniversary.

The First Lady said the Tinubu administration inherited the situation on the ground but was willing to fix things without putting blame on any administration.

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 believe and have hope that you will have faith in this administration. The best is yet to come.”

“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
