Oluremi TinubuNigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has revealed that her husband’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 presidential election left her isolated in her local church and caused divisions within her parish.
Reflecting on the controversy, the First Lady wrote: “One of such decisions was the unpopular ‘Muslim/Muslim ticket’.
My local Assembly, Redeemed Christian Church of God, was split.”According to her, the backlash reminded her that the church, like every other institution, is filled with people of different political leanings.
Despite the animosity, Mrs Tinubu said she chose to remain in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, where she had served since 2007, rising from worker to Assistant Pastor in 2018.
“I kept attending church, and I thank God I have grown from being a baby to a mature Christian.
