First lady Remi Tinubu has debunked the allegation that she ordered the closure of Aso Rock Chapel.
Some Twitter users had claimed she shut down the chapel over alleged lack of support for her husband’s presidential bid.
Special adviser on media to the first lady Busola Kukoyi in a press statement on Monday said the rumour was false.
“Our attention has been drawn to a story making the rounds on social media about the purported closure of the Aso Rock Chapel by the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen Olurermi Tinubu OON, CON,” the statement said.
Mrs Kukoyi, however, noted that the accusation making the rounds on social media was a “fabrication and totally false representation of the true situation.”

She said: “We wish to state categorically that this is a fabrication and totally false representation of the true situation, as the First Lady at no time gave such a directive that the Chapel be shut and the keys handed over to Her Excellency.
“Presently there are weekly fellowships going on at the Chapel. 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 for the Chapel.”
