Remi Tinubu: President Not a Magician, Working to Fix Nigeria
Nigeria's First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has spoken out about her husband, President Bola Tinubu's efforts to address the challenges facing the country. 

In a statement made during an interdenominational church service commemorating Nigeria's 63rd Independence Anniversary, Mrs Tinubu emphasised that the President is diligently working to repair a nation that has faced longstanding issues.

"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," Mrs Tinubu explained. "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."

She also highlighted the need for Nigerians to look beyond their current challenges and embrace hope for a brighter future. Mrs Tinubu emphasised that "a Nigeria of abundance has begun" and encouraged citizens to focus on the positive changes taking place in the nation.

In his Independence Day speech, President Tinubu described the Central Bank of Nigeria as a "den of malfeasance" and vowed to expose corruption within the apex bank. He also addressed issues such as debt accumulation and the removal of petrol subsidies, which led to a significant increase in petrol prices. 

Additionally, President Tinubu ordered the floating of the naira, allowing banks to determine exchange rates, thereby ending the dual exchange rate system in the country.

While these policy changes have garnered praise from experts, they have also led to challenges, including food inflation and a weakening national currency. To address the economic hardship faced by Nigerians, President Tinubu announced several interventions.

Despite the difficulties, Mrs. Tinubu emphasised that good governance would prevail if citizens followed the example of Jesus Christ by embodying virtues such as love, joy, peace, and forgiveness.

President Bola Tinubu assumed office as Nigeria's 16th president on May 29, succeeding Muhammadu Buhari. His administration faces the task of addressing longstanding issues and implementing reforms to improve the nation's economic stability and overall well-being.
