The Digest:

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has rejected calls to strip Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, of her assistant pastor title. He stated that she was ordained more than ten years ago, long before her husband showed any intention of running for the presidency. Adeboye emphasised that the church is non-partisan and will not bow to external pressure.
