Presidency Releases Mosque Footage To Counter Opposition Claims About Tinubu

The Presidency has released video footage showing President Bola Tinubu leaving a mosque after observing Friday prayers, in a move to counter claims circulating among opposition supporters about his whereabouts.

Senior Adviser to the President on Digital and New Media, Otega Ogra shared the footage on his X handle on Friday, describing reports and videos being circulated by opposition supporters as misleading.

In the post, Ogra accused the opposition of pushing a false narrative about the President, alleging that videos circulating online featured individuals he described as paid thugs at the mosque.

He maintained that the footage released by the Presidency showed Tinubu leaving the mosque after observing the Friday congregational prayers.

“FACT CHECK: The opposition lied,” Ogra declared.

He added, “Contrary to the narrative being pushed by the opposition, with videos of their alleged paid thugs at the Mosque today, here is footage of Mr. President leaving the mosque after Friday prayers this afternoon.”

The presidential aide accompanied the post with a message of support for Tinubu and the country, saying, “God bless our President. God bless Nigeria.”
