Remi Tinubu at inauguration service seeks prayers, support to reset Nigeria 

Incoming First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu, has said that her family does not need Nigeria’s wealth to survive.

Indeed, she pledged that his husband Bola Tinubu would today be mounting the saddle as Nigeria’s brand new President to set the country on the right path.

She spoke at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, during the 2023 Presidential Inauguration Inter-Denominational Service held on Sunday.

The incoming First Lady however stressed they would need the grace of God and the people’s payers and support to deliver on the expectations of citizens.

Remi said, “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 bet 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.”

She also said, “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.”
