Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that he was rechristened Abraham the Father of All Nations by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Tinubu made this revelation to the Kano chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria on Monday.
Good Morning Nigerian!

The former Lagos State governor claimed that the RCCG general overseer referred to him as Father of All Nations on the day his wife, Remi, was ordained as an RCCG pastor.
Tinubu stated “The day my wife was ordained a pastor, I was there. Pastor Adeboye gave me the name Abraham.
“I said what’s the meaning? He said the father of the nation,”
Recall that, Tinubu’s selection of a Muslim running mate, Kashim Shettima, has been criticised.
Tinubu ally and APC chieftain Lawan Babachir has threatened Christians to vote against the APC, calling the same faith ticket “satanic.”
