The First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu has refuted claims that she is organizing a national prayer over the country’s economic challenges.
Recall that the social media news space was awash with information that the First Lady in conjunction with the National Security Adviser among others was planning a prayer session for the country.
Reacting to the information, the spokesperson to the First Lady, Busola Kukoyi, refuted the information. She described the claims as not only misleading but also unfounded.
In a statement she released on Saturday, the spokesperson said, “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.”
Busola warned that people should always verify the authenticity of news about her principal. She, however, noted that 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. This is 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, orr her Office through Official channels. Kindly be advised accordingly,” Busola stated.
