Festus Keyamo, minister of state for labour, says Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), will oversee the Aso Rock chapel if her husband is elected president.

The minister said this on Political Paradigm, a Channels Television programme, on Tuesday.

Keyamo, who doubles as spokesman of the Bola Tinubu Campaign Council, made the comment in reaction to the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Tinubu had picked Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno who’s also a Muslim, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election. The development elicited outrage from key stakeholders, particularly the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

But Keyamo said the decision of the party is a strategy for winning the 2023 presidential election.

He said the presidential candidate’s family had always been multi-religious.

“It has nothing to do with unity, it’s just a winning strategy,” he said.

“It’s not a spit on the Christians. Muslims are a minority in the south and Asiwaju is Muslim from the south. Some Muslims are a minority in the north.

“Like I said, look at Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a person. Look at his record. He was one that returned all the mission schools to them in Lagos when he was governor.

“For the churches, he returned the mission schools to them. He has a multi-religious home. Some of his children are Christians. His wife is a pastor.

“The chapel in the villa will be overly used because the wife automatically will be the pastor, attending that chapel. So the chapel will not be closed down. He will be using it when he is by the grace of God president of this country.”

In 2018, Tinubu’s wife, who is currently the senator representing Lagos central, was ordained as assistant pastor at Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

In your dreams
Christians don't need desperate pastors

MAKE WE ROAST BEANS?

drmuchin:
MAKE WE ROAST BEANS?

shey before na gas you want roast abi ?

Keyamo isn't even a Christian yet he is feigning to be interested in the Christian faith.
He thinks he can deceive us.
Pipu wey we get their dossier

Besides, Which Parish Tinubu wife dey pastor?

This guy is getting high by the day on the medical vegetable (igbo) his principal is hawking to Nigerians.

.

This same tinubu's wife....wey dey use hijab??
Politicians no fit make heaven...they can just about anything

How does that change the price of Garri in the market?


If she likes let her be the lead Pastor for Alaba International Market, she and her husband will retire and remain at Bourdillion Road come 2023...


This Keyamo is more daft than I expected, tueh!!

K. Amu... If you know you know,
you won't hear anything pertaining to christianity if peraventure Tinubu gets on that presidential seat/position.. Islam will take over,and christians will hide in caves.

This Festus Keyamo is just on an overdrive with this his stupidity in defending any nonsense.

Why are Nigerians not ready to evolve . The southwest can be said to be the most religious diverse and religious tolerant in Nigeria.
And those attributes are evident in Tinubu has a Yoruba man, he has shown we can live together peacefully in our homes regardless of our religious affiliations.
Most people on social media thinks they are exposed and civilized yet the ones fanning the embers of religious discrimination.
Tinubu represents peace and progress.

Why not use one of his Bishop's.
Is that not case of use and dump.
May be like Lagos, the emperor want to install one of his own.

Now I strongly believe that God is not aware of anything called Nigeria

We no dey vote Muslim-muslim ticket...free us..

We no wnt bokoharam as leader...

Lol is this also part of the campaign

No , she won't.
Obi will be president. Let her take care of her ailing husband

In Keyamo's strange imagination, the problem of the country is who worships in Aso Rock Chapel.

Indeed,, you just can not defend APC or Tinubu without sounding like slowpoke

How Festus keyamo, a once acclaimed human rights activists reduced himself to a mere errand boy will surely need to be studied in our higher institution of learning

In your aspirations somebody haven't need desperate pastors

Yeah... maybe when we dont have options of better candidates with christian as president or deputy..
