Tinubu has not converted from Islam - Aide

Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, has refuted viral claims that the president has converted from Islam. Olusegun dismissed the allegations as false in a statement shared on X on Thursday.

Olusegun explained that President Tinubu has consistently practiced Islam and continues to support his wife's Christian faith, noting that she is a pastor. He emphasized that the family's structure reflects interfaith harmony rather than religious conversion or conflict. "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," Olusegun stated.

Please disregard the video circulating claiming PBAT has converted. It is a lie…

The clarification comes in response to a video circulating on social media that speculated about the president's religious identity. The statement aims to correct misinformation and highlight the president's long-standing religious practice and his family's interfaith dynamic.
