The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has firmly declared that Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, will not be stripped of her pastoral ordination despite mounting calls for her removal.
Speaking at the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye emphasized that Oluremi Tinubu was ordained as an Assistant Pastor in RCCG over a decade ago, long before her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, entered the presidential race. He clarified that her ordination followed all required church procedures and that she has not breached any of the church’s doctrines or guidelines.
‘She was properly ordained many years ago, far before her husband’s political journey toward the presidency began,’ Adeboye stated, adding that the church will not succumb to external pressures demanding her dismissal. He stressed that RCCG operates on established spiritual and procedural principles and will not be swayed by political sentiment or public outcry.
Adeboye affirmed that the First Lady remains in good standing within the church and continues to fulfill her pastoral duties without any infractions.
