The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has admitted she faced backlash within her church community over her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket in the build-up to the 2023 general elections.
Mrs Tinubu, who rose to Assistant Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 2018, described the experience as “a bitter pill,” but said it deepened her faith.
“When the Word of God says we should bless our enemies, not curse them, and do good to those who persecute us… I am at peace, doing all I can to make Nigeria better and greater,” she noted.

Speaking further on the events that led to her husband’s election victory, the First Lady said she has forgiven individuals who betrayed her husband during the heated 2023 presidential election.
Naija News reports that Mrs Tinubu made the disclosure in her new 52-page memoir, The Journey of Grace: Giving Thanks in All Things, released to mark her 65th birthday.
In the book, structured in five chapters covering 2021 to 2025, Mrs Tinubu said she had chosen peace over bitterness.
“I do not have anything against anyone…the question is how I did not feel the betrayal anymore? I knew the Grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me.
“Never to avenge myself, assuring me that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us,” she wrote.
Tinubu’s Allies Went Missing During Campaign
The First Lady recalled that some of President Tinubu’s closest allies were absent when he finally decided to contest after over 14 years of consideration.
“Most people I thought would support the idea, because past relationships, were not forthcoming,” she revealed.
“Some said no indirectly, while others would rather want to see the outcome before taking a position. I realised that whatever good you do in life, it is only God who rewards you and not man.”
Drawing parallels with the scriptures, Mrs Tinubu said her decision to forgive was guided by the example of Jesus Christ.
“Letting go is what I did; doing good is what matters most. Like my Saviour Jesus Christ in Acts 10:38, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him.
“We should never put our trust in any man; when they help, it is God using them to be a blessing. When they stop, it means their assignment for you from God has ended,” she wrote.
The First Lady recounted how a scripture from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 shaped the book’s subtitle and her philosophy of gratitude.
She said: “One morning, while I was in the bathroom, the Holy Spirit dropped this Word…that it is not in some things to give thanks, but in everything, both good and bad. Then I realised that this publication’s subtitle will be just that.”
