The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye, has stated that the church will not remove Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, from her position as an ordained pastor within the denomination.
Adeboye’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions and speculation surrounding the First Lady’s clerical status, with the cleric making it clear that her ordination remains valid and unchanged. He emphasised that the church’s decision is grounded in its established doctrines and internal processes, which guide appointments and recognitions within the ministry.
According to the RCCG leader, ordained positions within the church are not subject to external pressure or public opinion, but are instead based on spiritual considerations and institutional guidelines. He reaffirmed that Oluremi Tinubu continues to serve as a pastor in good standing, with no plans for any reversal of her status.
The development has generated varied reactions across religious and public spaces, with some individuals supporting the church’s autonomy in managing its affairs, while others have engaged in broader conversations about the intersection of faith and public office.
Observers note that the statement underscores the RCCG’s commitment to maintaining its internal governance structure, while also highlighting the influence of prominent public figures within religious institutions.
As discussions continue, church officials have called for respect for institutional decisions and urged members to remain focused on spiritual growth and unity within the body of Christ.
