Bola Tinubu Taking A New Muslim Wife? -- APC Candidate Reacts

 

There were rumours in certain quarters that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was planning on taking a new Muslim wife.

Recall that the former Lagos State Governor, a Muslim is currently married to a Christian wife, Oluremi Tinubu.

Mrs Tinubu, a current senator is an ordained pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

There were reports that the APC Presidential Candidate was being pressured to take a new wife to align with yearnings of some Northern elites for a prospective Muslim first lady.

The APC National Leader through his media aide, Tunde Rahman has now debunked the rumours.

In a statement released on February 12, 2023, Tinubu said he's happy with his wife and has no intention to marry a second wife.

PRESS RELEASE 

STOP THE FAKE NEWS: Asíwájú Tinubu is not taking a new wife

We have seen a fake news that has gone viral on social media purporting that the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to take a new wife.

This is what it is: a fake and groundless news.

HE Asíwájú is enjoying his marriage to his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, which is blessed with excellent children. He is not ready to take an additional wife, whether a Christian or a Muslim.

We know the intention of those behind those peddling a new Muslim wife is not only to cause discord within the extremely peaceful family of Asíwájú Tinubu but to also create disaffection within the Christian community.

Their intention has failed. It will not cut a dice anywhere.

We enjoin our people to completely disregard the unfounded news.

Asíwájú Tinubu is at present focused on his campaign to emerge the president of this country come February 25, 2023 in order to rekindle the hope of our people in a better, stronger, more secure and prosperous Nigeria. 

Senator Oluremi Tinubu is also busy traversing the length and breadth of the country canvassing support for her husband.

They will not be distracted by this baseless news.

Tinubu Media Office,

Tunde Rahman
