RCCG issues statement, speaks on alleged meeting with Tinubu
The Redeemed Christian Church of God had earlier issued a disclaimer, debunking a purported meeting between its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and Tinubu.
Tinubu and Adeboye met on Sunday, July 17, at Redemption Camp in Ogun state.
A source alleged that Tinubu's wife, Senator Oluremi was present in the meeting, adding that the closed-door talk was fruitful.
The source said:
“He met Adeboye on Sunday. The meeting was very fruitful. He (Adeboye) is not against Muslim-Muslim ticket."
One of Tinubu's next steps at the time was to meet the leadership of the Christian Association Nigeria (CAN) on the sensitive issue.
It was gathered that Tinubu had already set up a team of prominent persons with whom he was scheduled to meet Christian leaders in the APC and faith-based organisations like CAN, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), and the Catholic Church.
