The First Lady, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, has debunked an allegation that she closed the AsoRock Chapel.
The former senator said, contrary to reports, the chapel is open and holds weekly fellowship.
Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, refutes a claim that she shut down the AsoRock Chapel.
Contrary to rumors, the church is open and has weekly fellowship, according to the former senator.
Recall that @VeronicaaNaomi, a Twitter user, claimed that the First Lady had given the chapel’s closure orders.
The user claimed that her directive for the closure was because some unnamed persons did not support her husband, President Bola Tinubu, during the presidential election in February 2023.
But, the First Lady, in a statement signed by her Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi, described the claims as false.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a story making the rounds on social media about the purported closure of the AsoRock Chapel by the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen Olurermi Tinubu OON, CON.
“We wish to state categorically that this is a fabrication and totally false representation of the true situation, as the First Lady at no time gave such a directive that the Chapel be shut and the keys handed over to Her Excellency. Presently there are weekly fellowships going on at the Chapel.
“However, Mr President is yet to appoint a Chaplain for the chapel after the exit of the last Chaplain, as he only reserves the right to appoint a Chaplain for the Chapel.”
