Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, has denied that she closed the AsoRock Chapel.
Mrs Tinubu, a former senator, stated that, contrary to popular belief, the chapel is open and hosts weekly services.
A Twitter user going by the handle @VeronicaaNaomi said that the First Lady ordered the chapel to be closed.
The user claimed that the First Lady ordered the shutdown.
She said she did this because some unknown individuals did not support President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
The First Lady, however, emphasized that the reports were incorrect. She debunked this in a statement signed by her Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi.
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. 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.”
