First Lady Remi Tinubu Speaks On Purported Closure Of Aso Rock Chapel

Wife of Nigeria's President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has reacted to insinuations she ordered the closure of the Aso Villa Chapel.

A Twitter User with the moniker, @VeronicaaNaomi had alleged that Mrs Tinubu locked the chapel because the members did not support the election of her husband.

She wrote: 

 "A so called Pastor of Redeemed, Jezebel Remi Tinubu, locked Aso Rock Chapel because they did not support her husband during the presidential election- Wow! Jezebel Remi is an impudent, shameless and morally unrestrained woman. You and your husband time are up! We will take our stolen mandate back"

Senator Oluremi in a statement by her Special Adviser on Media, Busola Kukoyi vehemently denied the accusations, saying it is a fabrication.

"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", part of the statement reads.

"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."
