My wife is a pastor, my children are Christians – Tinubu reminds Nigerians

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has once again reminded Nigerians why they should not use religion to judge him.

Tinubu said he will not oppress Christians because his wife and children are all churchgoers.

His words, “I know people have reacted harshly to my selection. They have done so without knowing the man or giving him or me a fair chance.
“The rumour that this is some plot to suppress the Christian community is untrue and unfortunate.

“I can no more suppress the Christians of this nation than I can suppress the Christians in my own household, my very family. You all know my wife is Christian and a pastor. My children are Christians.

I can no more disown them and their choice of faith than I can disown myself. As a husband and father to Christian wife and children, hearing such allegations is hurtful.”
