Nigeria’s First Lady and wife of President Bola Tinubu has denied the alleged closure of Aso Rock Chapel.
Mrs Tinubu in a statement released by her Media Aide, Busola Kukoyi advised Nigerians to jettison such information flying around in the public domain that the wife of the President, who is also a Pastor with The Redeemed Christian Church of God, has ordered the indefinite closure of the Christian Chapel inside the Villa
The statement reads in parts;
“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 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.
