The First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs Remi Tinubu, has disclosed that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, is not a magician that will wave a magic wand and solve all of the country’s problems in a flash, saying that the President is trying his best to change the narrative.
Remi Tinubu stated this on Sunday during an inter-denominational church service to commemorate Nigeria’s 63 Independence Anniversary Day.
She said her husband inherited the current challenges in the country, saying that the President is determined to fix them rather than blame past leaders.
She said, “All we inherited are things that had happened many years ago. We are not here to put blame on any administration but to fix what has been damaged.
“My husband is not a magician. He is going to work and I believe and hope that we will have peace in this country. The best is yet to come to us.
“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.”
Also speaking at the event, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume (SGF), urged Nigerians to remain patient, saying that measures are being put in place to provide solutions to the problems bedevilling the country.
He said, “Solutions to Nigeria’s complex problems can never be as instant as expected. It will take some time, but measures are already being put in place to address them.”
