President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said he was rechristened Abraham the Father of All Nations by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Tinubu said this in Kano while speaking with the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, on Monday.
The former Lagos State governor said the RCCG general overseer called him Father of All Nations the day his wife, Remi, was ordained a pastor in the RCCG.
Tinubu said, “The day my wife was ordained a pastor, I was there. Pastor Adeboye gave me the name Abraham.
“I said what’s the meaning? He said the father of the nation,” he added.
There has been controversy over Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim running mate, Kashim Shettima, with Christian leaders vowing to work against his party in 2023.
Lawan Babachir, a Tinubu ally and APC chieftain has threatened that Christians will vote against the APC, describing the same faith ticket as “satanic.”
