First Lady, Mrs Remi Tinubu, has denied recent social media reports claiming that she ordered the closure of the Aso Villa Chapel.

Recall that a Twitter user @VeronicaaNaomi had alleged that the First Lady ordered the closure of the chapel.

She added that her directive for the closure was because some unnamed persons did not support her husband, President Bola Tinubu, during the presidential election.

Reacting, the First Lady’s media aide, Busola Kukoyi, in a statement on Monday night described the report as false and fabrications.

Mrs Tinubu, said contrary to reports, the chapel is open and holds weekly fellowship.

She said: “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.”
