Tinubu’s camp speaks on ‘shutting down’ Aso Rock Chapel

The Director of Special Media Operations and New Media of the Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) on Saturday dismissed reports that the Aso Rock Villa Chapel will be shut down for four years because the president-elect and the vice-president-elect are Muslims.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Fani-Kayode, the incoming First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is a Pastor, thus the Chapel cannot be closed.

The assertion that the Aso Rock Chapel will be shut down for four years because @officialABAT and @KashimSM, the President-elect & Vice President-elect respectively, are Muslims is absurd given the fact that the in-coming First Lady is not only a Christian but also a Pastor.

This newspaper reports that the Aso Rock Chapel is the church where Christian families living and working in the citadel of power worship in Abuja. It serves as a socio-religious forum where they worship or celebrate themselves.
