The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has distanced itself from the statement considered a hate outburst Senator Oluremi Tinubu against Igbos living in Lagos.
The Church insists that it will not align with the state’s local politics and traditions. Recall that the wife of the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is an ordained Assistant Pastor of the mega Church.

Earlier in the week, mixed reactions trailed a video showing the moment the Senator representing Lagos Central at the National Assembly spoke about chasing the Igbos with the deities of Lagos for proving difficult.
According to the Redeemed Assistant Pastor, Igbos who refused to marry their Yoruba counterparts will be chased out, adding that the love shown to them (the Igbos) should be reciprocated.
The wife of the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, lamented the attitude of Igbos residing in the state as “proving difficult despite the love shown to them.”
Pastor Senator Oluremi Tinubu 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.”

However, the comments did not sit well with social media users who faulted it, whilst slamming the church for making Senator Remi Tinubu a pastor.
Speaking about the video, the RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, told newsmen 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.
When asked about the outrage questioning Remi’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.”
It would seem like the former First Lady of Lagos State is gradually being known for her unguarded out busts.
During a town hall meeting with her constituents a few years back, she lashed out at a lady who demanded her rights from the government and organisers of the event, calling her a “thug.”

The Senator has also attracted public outburst when she threatened Senator Elisha Abbo who was indicted for assaulting a woman a few years back.
