Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has denied claims suggesting that she is organizing a national prayer event in response to Nigeria’s current economic challenges.
In a statement released by her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi, Mrs. Tinubu refuted the claims as both “misleading” and “unfounded.”
The statement said that the First Lady has no plans to organize any national prayer event and urged Nigerians to disregard any news suggesting otherwise.
The full announcement from Mrs. Tinubu’s office reads:
ANNOUNCEMENT
FIRST LADY OF NIGERIA, SENATOR OLUREMI TINUBU, CON REFUTES ORGANISING NATIONAL PRAYER EVENT
This is to clarify and inform the general public that the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON is not organizing a National Prayer.
The news making rounds in some conventional and social media platforms is unfounded and misleading. Consequently, anyone who might have come across the purported news of the joint National Prayer for Nigeria should disregard it as false.
Whilst the First Lady, a Christian and strong advocate of prayer and praying for Nigeria believes that prayer is an act that must be done willingly, conscientiously and correctly, she also believes that praying for Nigeria is the responsibility of every Nigerian, irrespective of religious belief, political affiliation, tribe or tongue.
Members of the public are advised to verify the authenticity of any news or event involving the First Lady of Nigeria or her Office through Official channels.
Kindly be advised accordingly.
Thank you.
