Faced with several challenges confronting the country, the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, says her husband, President Bola Tinubu’s government is focused on fixing the country’s problem, saying her husband is not a magician. 

Speaking in an interdenominational church service to mark Nigeria’s 63rd Independence, Remi Tinubu said her husband’s government inherited a lot of challenges.

According to her, the Tinubu administration is willing to fix the issues affecting Nigeria.

“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 – brick by brick – and I believe and hope that you will have faith in this administration. The best is yet to come for us,” she said at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Sunday.

Her comment came hours after President Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast as the country marked its 63rd Independence Day.

In the broadcast, Tinubu said the federal minimum wage for lower-grade public employees would increase by 35,000 naira a month for the next six months.

Later Sunday, government officials and labour unions met for negotiations, and the government said the temporary wage increase would now apply to “all treasury-paid federal government workers for six months,” according to a presidency statement.

The temporary wage hike was among other offers, it said.

“NLC and TUC will consider the offers by the Federal Government with a view to suspending the planned strike to allow for further consultations,” the statement said.

NLC leader, Joe Ajaero told reporters the union would take the government offers to its membership for consultations.

“We’re hopeful that (membership) will have a look at them and give us a fresh mandate,” he said.

  1. Who is talking of her husband being a magician. Nigeria does not need a magician to govern her. The Constitution does not provide for the President to be a magician. This talk of her husband not being a magician is irrelevant. It sends signals of admitting lack of ability to turn things around for good governance.
