My Wife Remi Is A Pastor Who Taught Me Bible That Once Upon A Time There Was Moses And Pharaoh – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has stated that Nigeria will never return to the fuel subsidy system, using the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to explain why his administration will not reverse the policy.

In a video shared by Channels Television, Tinubu said his wife Senator Remi, a pastor, taught him the Bible and the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Egypt.

Tinubu recalled how Pharaoh refused to release the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and later pursued them when Moses led them out of Egypt.

Tinubu explained that when Moses and the Israelites reached the Red Sea, the sea parted and allowed them to cross, while the Egyptian army pursuing them perished in the water.

Tinubu said Moses could not be expected to turn back and return the Israelites to Egypt after they had escaped from slavery.

Using the story to defend his decision to remove fuel subsidy, the President said Nigeria must continue moving forward rather than return to the old system. He concluded by declaring that the country would never return to fuel subsidy.
