According to a Daily Post Newspapers on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of President Bola Tinubu, has disclosed that her church, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), was divided following her husband’s controversial Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in 2023.
In her new book, The Journey of Grace: Giving Thanks in All Things, released to mark her 65th birthday, the First Lady recalled the resentment she witnessed from some church members over the ticket.
She said, “One of such decisions was the unpopular ‘Muslim-Muslim ticket’. My being a Christian did not matter. My local assembly, Redeemed Christian Church of God, was split.”
Oluremi Tinubu said the split revealed that the church had members of different political affiliations.
She also reflected on her 2011 Senate campaign, noting that her posters were rebuffed by the church at the time.
Despite these experiences, she remained devoted to attending services.
She said, “I experienced this during my campaign in 2011 for the Senate, when I took my campaign posters to the church, and it was rebuffed. After that, I never tried again, I kept attending church, and I thank God I have grown from being a baby to a mature Christian.”
