Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has publicly addressed rumors claiming that she organized a national prayer session aimed at alleviating economic hardship in the country. In a recent statement, Tinubu clarified that no such event had been organized or planned by her office. Her response follows an online circulation of reports alleging her involvement in initiating prayers to help Nigerians cope with recent economic difficulties.
The First Lady emphasized the importance of accurate information, noting that while she supports spiritual activities and community well-being, her office had not called for or arranged any specific national prayer. She urged Nigerians to remain hopeful amid ongoing economic reforms aimed at improving their standard of living and advised the public to verify any information before believing or spreading it.
Many Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions to the clarification. While some praised the First Lady for addressing the rumors head-on, others felt disappointed, hoping that such a prayer initiative would bring unity and encouragement during challenging times. Tinubu’s denial highlights the influence of social media on public opinion and the importance of responsible information dissemination.
