Remi Tinubu, the wife of the president-elect, says her
family does not need the wealth of Nigeria to survive.
Tinubu who spoke at the 2023 presidential inauguration
inter-denominational church service at the National Christian Center, Abuja,
said Nigeria’s wealth belongs to all and is for doing the right thing.
She called for prayers from Nigerians, adding that she and
her husband would be needing God’s grace to deliver on the expectations of
citizens.
While saying she was humbled by her husband’s victory at the
polls, Tinubu added that it was time for the country to unite in renewed hope
and expect the best.
“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,” she said.
“Ashiwaju 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.
“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. To hope in Nigeria as our
young children have sung here today. They are expecting the best for Nigeria.
“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, who will set this nation on the right path.”
