Adeboye made the declaration during RCCG’s monthly Holy Ghost Service, where he addressed concerns surrounding her position.

He explained that Oluremi Tinubu was ordained as an Assistant Pastor more than ten years ago, well before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu began his journey toward the presidency.

According to him, her ordination was properly carried out in line with the church’s established procedures, and she has not violated any RCCG doctrine or rule.

Adeboye also rejected demands from critics calling for her removal, stressing that the church would not yield to outside pressure regarding its internal decisions.

Meanwhile, the revered cleric also opened up about how he managed expensive gifts in the early days of his ministry.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service, Adeboye recounted how an elderly woman once gifted him a Mercedes-Benz at a time when he still relied on public transportation.

He said he initially left the vehicle unused because he was uncertain about accepting such a gift, but a dream later made him realize that rejecting it was hindering the giver’s blessing.

Acting on that conviction, he handed the car over to his late deputy, Pastor Abiodun, despite being encouraged to keep and enjoy it.

Adeboye revealed that he later received three additional Mercedes-Benz vehicles, a development that left him astonished.

He particularly recalled an unusual incident when a man arrived at his home around 2:00 AM with a rare six-door Mercedes limousine, claiming God had instructed him to deliver it.

After praying about it, Adeboye said he felt led to sell the luxury vehicle.

He eventually sold the limousine and used the proceeds to purchase motorcycles for his pastors, demonstrating his commitment to channeling personal gifts toward the welfare of others.

He said, “I almost said, ‘Alakoba wo le leyi?’ I hope this one is not trying to get me into trouble.

“Why are you robbing my daughter of her blessing? She sowed a seed, and you are not allowing the seed to germinate.

“Even if I die and they put me in this car, I will wake up. Will you permit me to sell the car?

“I remember I sold it and used the money to buy motorcycles for my pastors.”

Speculation surrounding Obi’s possible exit from the ADC has grown following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the party’s leadership crisis.

While Obi and his loyalists have yet to officially confirm any defection plan, political analysts believe the former Labour Party presidential flagbearer may be weighing a move to the NDC in the wake of the judgment.

Reacting via his account on Saturday, Ahmad said such a move, if confirmed, could indicate that Obi was attempting to sidestep internal party rivalry.

He wrote, “Reports and indications suggest that Peter Obi and his blind supporters are reconsidering another political move away from their current platform, the ADC.

“The question here is whether Peter is leaving to avoid facing other aspirants within his party. It mirrors the same route he followed in 2022 ahead of the 2023 presidential election.”

Ahmad maintained that party primaries are a crucial measure of democratic capacity and leadership strength.

According to him, any politician unwilling to test their popularity within their own party framework may face doubts about their ability to forge the broad national unity needed to govern a complex nation like Nigeria.

He stated, “If a political figure appears so afraid to test their popularity within their own party structure, it naturally leads to questions about how they intend to build the broad national consensus required to lead a country as diverse and complex as Nigeria.”

Ahmad further stressed that internal party contests remain a core pillar of democracy.

He argued that any aspirant who cannot compete fairly within party ranks may struggle to effectively lead a country filled with competing interests and powerful political forces.

He added, “Party primaries are a fundamental pillar of democracy. If Peter struggles to compete fairly among fellow aspirants within his party, it becomes difficult to convincingly argue that he can unify and lead an entire nation with diverse interests and strong political contenders.”

reports that Osunbor said the ADC represents hope for improved governance in Nigeria, insisting that the country is in urgent need of a leadership reset.

He made the remarks on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he reacted to recent political developments and defections involving the party.

Osunbor dismissed concerns over defections from the ADC, arguing that the party is actually recording more gains than losses.

He said, “There are more people joining the ADC than those leaving. That should give you cause to be happy.

“There is freedom of association, but if at the end of the day there is net gain rather than net loss, we should be satisfied. We don’t have any right to tie anybody down.”

The former governor maintained that the ADC remains a credible political alternative for the 2027 presidential election, adding that Nigeria urgently needs a proper leadership selection process capable of producing competent leaders.

He said, “It offers the best option to rescue Nigeria, to reintroduce good governance in Nigeria because nothing will work unless the leadership recruitment structure is gotten right.”

He further stressed that democratic institutions must be strengthened and allowed to function independently for meaningful national progress.

“Unless democratic institutions are allowed to function as they should, unless the laws and regulations and due process are followed, we will continue to sink deeper into the morass of underdevelopment,” he added.

Osunbor Alleges Plot Against ADC

Osunbor also alleged that some of the legal challenges facing the ADC were politically engineered to weaken the opposition party.

He said, “The legal problems confronting the ADC are orchestrated. I just gave you an example of somebody who was already out of the ADC for a long time, but he was encouraged to stay there and scatter them, fight them.”

He further expressed concern over what he described as increasing executive interference in state institutions, particularly the judiciary.

“What bothers Nigerians is executive interference and the judiciary,” he said.

Responding to criticisms that the ADC is filled with politicians who have held office without significant achievements, Osunbor defended the party’s members.

He said, “Name anybody in ADC who is as bad, who is as corrupt or who is as vile as those in APC.

“If you tell me one corrupt person in ADC, I can show you ten in APC. There is no perfection in this world. Because if we are bad, we are not as bad as the APC.”
