Remi Tinubu: I’m not organising national prayer against hardship

Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu, has debunked reports that she had concluded plans to organise a national prayer over economic hardship in Nigeria.

Reports recently emerged that the First Lady, alongside National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, would lead a national prayer against hardship in the country.

Oluremi however described the reports as “unfounded and misleading”.

She made this known via a statement issued by her spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, on Saturday, November 9, 2024.

Kukoyi said: “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.

Remi Tinubu: My husband not responsible for economic hardship

“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.”
