Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of the incoming president of Nigeria, has given the Nigerian people her word that her family does not need the riches of the country to thrive since God has already blessed them.
She disclosed this information at the interdenominational church service that took place at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on the previous Sunday.
In addition, the president-elect’s future spouse said that the riches of the country is the property of everyone and that they want to put it to good use.
She pleaded with Nigerians to pray for them, saying that in order to meet the expectations of Nigerians, they were going to require the grace of God.
Tinubu, who is also stepping down from his position as senator for Lagos Central in the National Assembly, made the following statement: “Nigeria’s wealth is the commonwealth of all.” Everyone has a right to use it. My family has been blessed by God. We do not need the riches of Nigeria in order to live, but we do require it in order to act morally. And I pledge you here at this altar that with your support, and with the aid of God, we will lead this country back onto the road that leads to prosperity.
She then went on to comment on the fact that she would be one of Nigeria’s oldest first lady when she takes office at the age of 63, adding, “Asiwaju is 71 and I will be 63. I would wager that I would be among the oldest first ladies that Nigeria has ever had. We need God’s grace, and we need everyone to live up to the standards that Nigerians have set for them.
“Just as he did on the night of the primaries, God has really shown his worth today and put his stamp of approval on it,” she said. Because the vote count came out to 1,271, and when I saw that number, I exclaimed to God, “It means you are here.”
“I was brought to the lowest point of my humiliation. And to think that this will be the seventh successive democratic transition that Nigeria will go through demonstrates that the country is at its pinnacle of success at this moment.
The departing Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, the former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, and Senator-elect Godswill Akpabio were among the dignitaries who attended the church service. Other dignitaries included the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha.
