Social media reports have claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari has closed down the Aso Villa Chapel due to its closeness to his official residence.
While describing the rumour as handwork of mischief makers, the Presidency shared photos from the church service to back up its claim.
Speaking with State House correspondents after the church service on Sunday, acting chaplain Pastor Joseph Sheyi Malomo, admitted that though there were some procedural issues last Sunday that needed to be sorted out, the presidency at no time ordered the closure of the chapel.
He appealed to Nigerians to ignore the rumour and focus rather on issues that will unit the country.
In his sermon titled ‘Securing the glorious destiny of out posterity’, Malomo explained that Nigeria has a glorious destiny that is unique.
The first bible reading was taken from 2 Samuel 3:1-3 while the second bible reading was taken from Job 1:1-5 and Psalm 139 from verse 14 and 15.
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, who is the political head of the chapel, was not in attendance during the service.
