Lucky Obukohwo Reporting

First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has debunked reports that she is organising a national prayer programme for the country.

The disclaimer was contained in a press statement signed by Busola Kukoyi, SSA Media to the First Lady, and made available to journalists.

Kukoyi said that the news making rounds in some conventional and social media platforms are unfounded and misleading.

“This is to clarify and inform the general public that the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, is not organising a national prayer.

“The news making rounds in some conventional and social media platforms are 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.

“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”, the statement said.
