The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, says her husband’s decision to run on a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in 2023 left her isolated in her local church, describing the episode as a “bitter pill” that split her parish and tested her faith. My local Assembly, Redeemed Christian Church of God, was split.”The Redeemed Christian Church of God is one of Nigeria’s largest Pentecostal denominations with sprawling parishes nationwide and across the globe. “I later realised that we are a church like other churches with members of all political parties in attendance. But my husband’s bid for the Presidential Office was different, a bitter pill for them to chew,” Mrs Tinubu added. The ruling All Progressives Congress’ same-faith ticket in 2022 revived one of Nigeria’s most sensitive political arguments at the time.
