- Asks public to disregard report
The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has denied organising a National Prayer event.
A statement issued by her spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, on Saturday, she revealed that the news making rounds in some conventional and social media platforms are unfounded and misleading.
She said: “Consequently, anyone who might have come across the purported news of the joint national prayer for Nigeria should disregard it as false.
“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.
“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.”
