Orji Uzor Kalu, the Senate Chief Whip and former governor of Abia State, has advised Christians in Nigeria not to be concerned about the religion of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate, because his wife, Remi, is a pastor.
Kalu made this known in response to the Christian Association of Nigeria’s (CAN) opposition against political parties presenting a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023.
The former governor stated this while addressing newsmen at the National Assembly on Wednesday, Daily Trust reported.
“Let me tell you, in my house, my wife is the head of the house in reality. Even you men that are here now, that your wives aren’t here, they are the head,” Kalu said.

“Like if I wear this clothe, my wife will tell me ‘My dear, this clothe is not good, remove it’. Your wife will tell you you are supposed to eat Akara and Akamu, whether you argue with her, you must take that Akamu. Your wife want you to pay children school fees, whether you argue or not, you must pay.
“The Christians should relax because Tinubu’s wife is a pastor and once she’s a pastor we are protected because she’s not a housewife. She has political knowledge.”
In the year 2018, Remi Tinubu was ordained as an Assistant Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
