Igbo Rant: RCCG Takes Position On Remi Tinubu (Video)
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has distanced itself from a viral video of Senator Remi Tinubu attacking Igbo living in Lagos who refuse to align with the state’s local politics and traditions as dictated by her husband.
Recall that Nigerians had blasted the Senator and the RCCG after a video capturing the moment the Senator talked about chasing the Igbo with traditional deities.

Remi Tinubu who is also a pastor of the RCCG, stated that Igbos who refused to marry from Yoruba land will be chased out, adding that the love shown to them (the Igbo) should be reciprocated.
The wife of the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, lamented the attitude of the Igbo residing in the state as “proving difficult despite the love shown to them.”
Remi Tinubu was heard in the video saying “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.”
"We will invoke Lagos deities to chase away the Igbos who refused to learn our language. Those that insisted not to marry the Yorubas, we will inherit their belongings."

Reacting to the development, the RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, told The Punch, the church was not aware of the video stating that Senator Remi Tinubu was not speaking as a pastor of the church in the reported address to the Igbo.
“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.”
