Tinubu has not converted from Islam – Aide
The Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has dismissed reports claiming that the President converted from Islam, describing the speculation as false.
Olusegun made the clarification in a statement shared on X on Thursday, urging the public to ignore the viral video making the claim.
“Please disregard the video circulating claiming PBAT has converted. It is a lie,” he wrote.
He explained that President Tinubu has always practised Islam while supporting his wife’s Christian faith, noting that the First Lady is a pastor.
According to Olusegun, the President’s family reflects religious harmony and mutual respect, not conversion or division.
“President Tinubu has always been a Muslim, while proudly supporting his wife, who is a Pastor. This unique interfaith harmony in his own home is what he brings to national leadership, which is unity and not conversion,” he added.
The statement follows widespread social media speculation over the President’s religious identity after a video surfaced online.
