The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has separated itself from an assertion made by Senator Remi Tinubu in regards to Igbos living in Lagos who are declining to conform to the nearby legislative issues and customs of the state.
Blended responses followed a video showing the second the Senator addressing Lagos Central at the National Assembly discussed pursuing the Igbos with the gods of Lagos for demonstrating troublesome.
As indicated by Mrs. Tinubu, a Redeemed minister, Igbos who won’t wed their Yoruba partners will be pursued out, adding that the adoration displayed to them (the Igbos) ought to be responded.
The spouse of the previous legislative leader of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, bemoaned the mentality of Igbos dwelling in the state as “demonstrating troublesome regardless of the adoration displayed to them.”
She said, “We will implore every one of the gods of Lagos to pursue Igbo individuals out. Igbo who didn’t wed Yoruba, we will acquire them. Considering the amount we love Igbo, you currently need to over-indulge everything.
“You are by all accounts not the only clan here, Hausa are here, we oblige them, Calabar are here, we oblige them. In any case, Igbo are demonstrating troublesome. We will acquire you.
“Notwithstanding the affection we have for you… others are here and we obliged them.”
Nonetheless, the remarks didn’t agree with web-based entertainment clients who blamed it, while pummeling the congregation for making Senator Remi Tinubu a minister.
Talking about the video, the RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, told The Punch, the congregation didn’t know about the video.
“We don’t know (of the video) and I’m certain Remi Tinubu was not talking as a minister of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,” Olubiyi said.
At the point when gotten some information about the shock scrutinizing Remi’s appointment, he said; “I’m not in that frame of mind to answer that in light of the fact that the congregation understands what it considers before appointment and virtual entertainment doesn’t direct to the congregation what the congregation ought to do. She has her life.”
