The Redeemed Christian Church of God has faulted social media comments questioning its ordination of Senator Remi Tinubu as a pastor.

Mixed reactions have trailed a video showing the Senator representing Lagos Central at the National Assembly talking about the Igbo and their alleged refusal to align with Lagos’ local politics.

According to the wife of the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Igbo residing in the state “were proving difficult despite the love shown to them”.

She said, “We will entreat all the deities of Lagos to chase Igbo people out. Igbo who didn’t marry Yoruba, we will inherit them. Given how much we love Igbo, you now want to spoil everything.

“You are not the only tribe in this place, Hausa are here, we accommodate them, Calabar are here, we accommodate them. But Igbo are proving difficult. We will inherit you.

“Despite the love we have for you… others are here and we accommodated them.”

While reacting, Twitter users were divided over the tone and meaning of her comment.

One Twitter user, @BadmusAdeyemi12, said, “She was just joking in the video. She didn’t mean what she was saying. That could be seen in her gesture.”

On his part, @4eyedmonk said, “…How can you say Remi Tinubu hates Igbo when in the same video she said, ‘Pelu ba she nife yin to,’ meaning, ‘considering how much we love you “Igbo?'”

However, some tweeps couldn’t believe that a pastor of the RCCG could be uttering such words, especially in public.

@Nwafresh said, “For the fact that Remi Tinubu is an ordained pastor in RCCG and still maintains her position after different hateful videos against the Igbo makes me understand why the Bible said that judgment will start from the house of God. Remi is an Antichrist.”

@drpenking said, “Sometimes I wish RCCG were like Jehovah’s Witnesses. You can’t consistently bring the image of the church into disrepute. They’ll disfellowship you no matter who you are and they’ll shun you like a leper. Remi Tinubu has dealt with RCCG‘s image so much.”

@mavisikpeme said, “So Remi Tinubu is really a pastor in RCCG? Those vile and hateful words cannot come from a servant of God. Must be a clone.”

@Oluomoofderby said, “How on earth is Remi Tinubu a pastor in RCCG? I honestly don’t get it. In saner climes, she would have resigned from the senate and kicked out of her political party.”


When The PUNCH reached out to the RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, he said the church was not aware of the video.

“We are not aware(of the video) and I’m sure Remi Tinubu was not speaking as a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,” Olubiyi said.

Reacting to the comments questioning Tinubu’s ordination, he said, “I’m not in a position to answer that because the church knows what it considers before ordination and social media does not dictate to the church what the church should do. She has her life.”[s][/s]

RCCG has brought itself into disrepute.

Remi Tinubu is a disgrace to the RCCG

She called herself a pastor yet talks like a tout

Na your papa get Lagos ?

I remember how she tried to smart dino malaye and insulted senator smart adeyemi

Nigerians will suffer if her husband becomes president

RCCG at it again...

Frontpage Lalasticlala, Mynd44, Dominique, Seun, Justwise

Such a flawed response by RCCG... how do you say, an Organization is not responsible for the public conduct of its members which indirectly portrays what the organization stands for to the public... a better response should have been "we would get back to you".

The statement leaves a sour taste that gives the opinion "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"...

Nigeria is the only country in the world where citizens are being accommodated in their country and Yoruba is the only tribe doing it.




Nonsense

Speak english

Remi is Tinubu masquerading in RCCG

Isn't it the same RCCG that makes lawyers who are known to be pathological liars their pastors?

A very good example is Yemi Osinbajo, who is a lawyer by profession and a pastor of RCCG.

These Pentecostal churches are taking the holiness of the Body of Christ for granted.

No wonder Muslims don't trust Tinubu cuz everything about him and around him is highly controversial

Fake Church, Fake pastor.. I used to attend RCCG until their GO foisted a known bigot like buhari on us.. Judgement will definitely start from the church..

To all my Igbo friends, I will inherit your wives if and chase you out if you misbehave in Yorubaland .
Sam ,Chihioke, Moses Okocha and the rest of you , don’t misbehave o

He didn't foist Buhari on the church but many gullible members followed APC pastors in the church

Nonsense

Why don't you allow them create their own country ? Let them go to their BIAFRA

So the next thing is to cancel her in the Church right?

Children of hate, why are you so full of hate?

With the way things are going, and until Nigeria probably ceases to exist, it is going to be hard for anyone of you to ascend the Presidency of Nigeria.

Your hatred for other tribes is legendary, but you forget that you cannot achieve what you want without the support of those same tribes.

All of these are because of the presidential election...

Bible and Quran say, let him that hath no. sin throw the first stone....

Every title in the church is an official appointment...but what you do with it makes you accepted or rejected by God...

Some decadence in the church is been publicly revealed gradually right in Papa Adeboye's eye...


God will help the church.

Game of interest.
That's politics for you, and politics began in the Church.

When I see that woman,this picture what comes to my mind
She would do worst than Jezebel

epondudu:
If you have watched the video and you understand the Yoruba language, if you believe she is not joking in that video then you are ludicrously dumb, you need to visit a special school for stupidity.
This lady is just joking but because of the hate and disgust from a section of this country, they have started attacking her. I can imagine if she happens to be a MUSLIM.

As a worldly person, the comment can be counted as a joke...but as a born-again and title holder in the church...such words shouldn't be uttered. ...
Bible says, "let no corrupt communication comes out of your mouth...but that which is good and that will edify the hearers... "
Now, show me any part of the comments in that video that edifies the hearer or the southeast tribe...

Christian culture is unique...it is either you accept or keep going in your worldly ways...

Joke my foot .
Out of the abundance of the heart ,the mouth speaketh.
She said her mind in a "jokingly" manner

Chukwu Igbo pass Remi Tinubu and her quack Yoruba deities.

As for the forth coming election, we wait them for Lagos.
No shí shí vote for them from us, only rantings and nothing they can do about it!
