‘Misleading,’ Remi Tinubu denies claims of organising national prayer

First Lady Remi Tinubu has denied reports that she is organizing a national prayer session to address the country’s economic challenges.

Rumors had circulated on various platforms suggesting that the First Lady, in collaboration with others, was planning a prayer event for the nation.

However, Busola Kukoyi, the spokesperson for the First Lady, has labeled these claims as both misleading and unfounded.

“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,” she said in a Saturday statement.

“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.”

Warning people to verify the authenticity of news about her principal, Busola, however, said the First Lady understands the importance of praying for the country.

“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,” the media aide added.

“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.”
