Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Senate chief whip, has urged Christians in Nigeria not to be concerned about the faith of Bola Tinubu's running mate, Remi, because she is a pastor. Tinubu is the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate.
Kalu, who is running for Senate again, was responding to the Christian Association of Nigeria's opposition against political parties presenting a Muslim-Muslim ticket, as has been predicted.
Kalu spoke to journalists in the National Assembly on Wednesday, according to Daily Trust.
He said, "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.
"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."
Remi Tinubu was ordained an Assistant Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in 2018.
