Reports claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu intends to change Nigeria’s name or abolish Sharia law have been strongly denied by the Presidency. According to a statement from the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, these claims are false and politically motivated.
Zilla Naija gathered that the viral report, which cited unnamed sources, had sparked wide discussion online, but the Presidency clarified that no such plans exist. Constitutional amendments require extensive legislative processes and cannot be implemented unilaterally.
In its statement, the Presidency urged citizens to disregard misinformation circulating online, noting that President Tinubu is focused on economic reforms and national development rather than constitutional changes. Zilla Naija will continue monitoring updates and will report verified developments as they happen.
