The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has stated that despite mounting pressure to remove Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as an ordained pastor in the church, she remains one.
He made this known while addressing the congregation at the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service, held at Redemption City (formerly Redemption Camp), located at KM 46, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Mowe, Ogun State.
According to the revered cleric, Mrs Tinubu was ordained as an Assistant Pastor in the RCCG more than a decade ago, long before her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, indicated an interest in contesting for the presidency.

Adeboye added that her ordination followed the full process required by the church and stressed that she has not violated any of its doctrines or guidelines.
“She was properly ordained many years ago, long before the political journey of her husband to the presidency began,” he said.
He went on to add that the RCCG would not bow to external pressure demanding her removal as a pastor.
Adeboye further noted that the church operates on established spiritual and procedural principles and will not take decisions based on political sentiment or public agitation.
He maintained that the First Lady remains in good standing within the church and continues to serve in her pastoral capacity.
