First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu, has called on religious leaders and Nigerians at large to pray for the success of the government instead of resorting to curses, insults, or castigations. Speaking during an event aimed at fostering national unity, Tinubu emphasized the importance of spiritual support in steering the country through difficult times. She noted that leaders face significant challenges and require divine guidance and unity among the populace to implement positive changes effectively.
Tinubu’s appeal for prayer over criticism reflects her broader vision of national development, which she promotes through her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI). This initiative focuses on addressing issues such as poverty, education, and agricultural reform, and is seen as a key component of the Tinubu administration’s social impact efforts. Tinubu encouraged citizens to support the government constructively, highlighting the need for cooperation across all sectors to improve the lives of Nigerians.
Her call comes at a time when many citizens are voicing frustrations over economic challenges, such as the impact of fuel subsidy removal..
