My Family Doesn’t Need Nigeria’s Wealth To Survive – Remi Tinubu

Category: Nigeria News

The wife of the President-elect, Remi Tinubu, has said 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.

The wife of the President-elect spoke while representing her husband at the inauguration inter-denominational church service at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, on Sunday.

Mrs Tinubu 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 where her husband emerged winner, showed that God was with the President-elect.

She 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.

“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.

“Today we have heard in Psalm 133:1-3. Except there is unity, lessons cannot flow down. This is the time for Nigerians to come together, for us to be renewed in our hope again.”
