The wife of the President-elect, Oluremi Tinubu has assured Nigerians that her family does not need the wealth of the nation to survive as God has blessed them.
She made this known during the interdenominational church service that was held on Sunday in Abuja at the National Christian Centre.
The president-elect’s wife added that the wealth of the nation belongs to all and that they would use it for the right thing.
She urged Nigerians to pray for them as they would need the grace of God to live up to the expectation of Nigerians.
Tinubu, who is also the outgoing senator representing Lagos Central at the National Assembly 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, who will set this nation on the right path.”
Speaking on, she observed also that she will be one of Nigeria’s oldest first ladies at 63 saying, “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.
“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.”
The church service was attended by the outgoing vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, and senator-elect Godswill Akpabio, amongst other dignitaries.
