July 10, (THEWILL) – The Office of the First Lady of Nigeria has refuted the rumour on social media platforms, claiming that the Aso Villa Chapel has been closed.
The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in a statement issued by her Special Adviser, Media, Busola Kukoyi, said although a new Chaplain has not been appointed for the Chapel after the exit of the last Chaplain, weekly fellowships are being observed at the chapel including mid-week fellowship on Tuesdays.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a story on social media about the purported closure of the AsoRock Chapel by the first lady; we wish to state categorically that this is a fabrication and a false representation of the true situation.
“The first lady at no time gave such a directive that the chapel be shut nor asked for the keys to be handed over to her.
“Presently, there are weekly fellowships going on at the chapel including mid-week fellowship on Tuesdays, 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.’’
