How my husband was betrayed in 2023 – President Tinubu’s wife, Oluremi
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the Nigerian President, has narrated how some political allies of her husband betrayed him during the 2023 presidential election.
In her new 52-page book, The Journey of Grace: Giving Thanks in All Things, released to mark her 65th birthday, the First Lady said Tinubu mused on the idea of presidency for over 14 years.
According to her, most people she thought would “support the idea, because past relationships were not forthcoming”.
She said after consultation with stakeholders, some of the political allies indirectly decided to steer clear while others watched to see the outcome.
She noted that some of the consultations “were favourable, while others were neither here nor there. Some said no indirectly, while others would rather want to see the outcome before taking a position.
“I realised that whatever good you do in life, it is only God who rewards you and not man”.
The First Lady, however, said she currently has nothing against anybody, stressing that with the help of the Holy Spirit, she decided to let go.
“Letting go is what I did; doing good is what matters most. Like my Saviour Jesus Christ in Acts 10:38, who, after He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power, went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him.
“So I do not have anything against anyone, and that also shows the frailty of man. Man is not God. We should never put our trust in any man; when they help, it is God using them to be a blessing.
“When they stop, it means their assignment for you from God has ended. Jeremiah 17:5-8. So look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Hebrews 12:2,” she added.
