General Overseer Adeboye says Oluremi Tinubu’s RCCG ordination predates presidency and meets all church guidelines, rejects pressure for removal.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has stated that Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, will not be removed from her position as an ordained pastor in the church.
Speaking during the monthly Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye explained that Oluremi Tinubu was ordained as an Assistant Pastor more than ten years ago, long before her husband, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, showed any intention of running for the presidency.
He emphasised that the First Lady went through the full process of ordination and has not violated any of the church’s guidelines. He added that the church will not bow to external pressure calling for her removal.
Addboye emphasised that the church is not aligned with any political party and remains open to all worshippers.
He noted that attendees cut across major political platforms including APC, PDP, ADC, APGA and LP, and maintained that while the church welcomes everyone, it does not permit politicians to use its altar for campaign purposes.
On the 2027 presidential election, he said the individual who will lead Nigeria has already been ordained by God.
He also addressed insecurity affecting Christians in northern Nigeria, stating that the church has continued to provide support through internally displaced persons camps and welfare initiatives, while rejecting claims that it has remained silent.
