The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has disavowed Senator Remi Tinubu\u2019s comments about Igbos residing in Lagos who are refusing to support the local politics and customs of the state.<\/p>\n
A video of the National Assembly senator representing Lagos Central speaking about chasing the Igbos with the deities of Lagos had sparked a range of comments.<\/p>\n
The Redeemed preacher asserted that Igbos who refused to wed their Yoruba counterparts would be expelled, and that whatever love provided to them (the igbos) should be reciprocated.<\/p>\n
The wife of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, bemoaned the state\u2019s Igbo residents\u2019 attitude as proving difficult despite the love shown to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cWe will entreat all the deities of Lagos to chase Igbo people out. Igbo who didn\u2019t marry Yoruba, we will inherit them. Given how much we love Igbo, you now want to spoil everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not the only tribe in this place, Hausa are here, we accommodate them, Calabar are here, we accommodate them. But Igbo are proving difficult. We will inherit you.<\/p>\n
Despite the love we have for you\u2026 others are here and we accommodated them.\u201d<\/p>\n
