Villa Chapel Not Relocated, Vp’s Aide Replies Bloggers by Heazy2015(m): 6:03am On Sep 17, 2015 |
Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, on Wednesday, responded to the criticism
trailing a report that the Aso Rock Villa Chapel has been relocated.
Akande described the report as false, saying a “procedural
adjustment” does not amount to relocation.
Akande’s response came on the heels of social media backlash
occasioned by an online report that President Muhammadu Buhari
had relocated the chapel.
The media aide said it was not fair to accuse the President of
relocating the church when what happened was “the sorting out of
procedural issues.” He insisted that it was baseless to assume that
Buhari was hostile to Christians in the Presidential Villa.
“The claims that Buhari moved against Christian activities in Aso
Rock Chapel have since been shown to be false.
“The sorting out of procedural issues cannot be a fair basis to accuse
the President of moving against the chapel,” he tweeted.
This is the second time Akande would go to twitter to defend the
Presidency over the same issue in the last-two weeks.
Earlier when an online media reported the closure of the children
arm of the church, the VP’s aide told Nigerians to disregard the
information. In fact, he described it as false.
In his tweets, he said, “Speculations that Buhari moved against
Christian activities at the Aso Villa Chapel is a blatant lie. I
personally worshipped there on Sunday.
“Also, claims that the children service at the Aso Villa closed down
is equally false. Please disregard the wild claims being reported.”
The fresh social media controversy followed a report that some hired
Senegalese spiritualists had advised Buhari to close the chapel.
The report claimed that the spiritualists objected to the continued
existence of the religious centre, as it was said to be affecting their
rites in the villa.
For several hours on Wednesday, bloggers and Buahri’s critics
feasted on what many described as fresh facts on the status of the
chapel.
In fact, some social media users faulted the essence of the religious
temples in the villa in the first place. According to them, there is no
need for a mosque or a church in the villa.
Kayode Ogundamisi, Omo Jesu and several other social media
activists commented on the issue. Many of them, who kicked against
the claim that the chapel was causing noise pollution, sought a re-
examination of the facts with a view to taking a fair decision on it.
Meanwhile, the reported inconsistency in the declaration of assets of
the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, also featured prominently in
the social media circles on Wednesday.
As many people urged the Senate President to show a good example,
the lawmaker retweeted, alleging that the Code of Conduct Bureau
might be after him because of his anti-corruption stance.
Reacting on both Twitter and Facebook , Saraki’s media aides said,
“It should be noted that at the time of writing this statement, Saraki
has not been served the court process. However, we recognise that,
as a public officer, he owes members of the public an explanation on
the allegations.
“Saraki has consistently declared his assets as required by the law at
every point before assuming any political office and that of 2015 is
not an exception. It is surprising that the agency is now referring to
his asset declaration made in 2003 while in office as governor of
Kwara State to formulate its charges.” www.punchng.com/i-punch/villa-chapel-not-relocated-vps-aide-replies-bloggers/ |

erunz:No matter how hard you try to wash a pig, a pig will still remain a pig. No matter how hard you try to school a born dunce, he still comes out a dunce. The allegations have been denied severally, but obvioisly, an abused and filthy mind sometimes has no remedy. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

obailala: You are the one that doesn't get it,no matter how much the villa story is refuted, "they" will choose to believe the relocation.. When PMB became president, it sentenced them to 4yrs of misery & despair, so any negative news about him is what gives them the zeal to bear the fact that the "dullard" is their president... Allow them!! 3 Likes |
