Against traditional practice, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will address a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday, Democracy Day instead of a live national broadcast.
His spokesperson , Bayo Onanuga stated this early morning of Tuesday.
Instead of an early morning live national broadcast, Tinubu would address a joint session of the National Assembly.
Spokesperson in Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, on Wednesday, said Tinubu’s address was part of Democracy Day activities, setting the stage for a combustible situation.
Tinubu had cancelled the previously scheduled nationwide broadcast in commemoration of Nigeria’s 26th Democracy Day anniversary.
Imohiosen said the change was due to the President’s scheduled attendance at a joint session of the National Assembly today.
“Due to President Bola Tinubu’s scheduled attendance at the National Assembly Joint Session, the Presidential National Broadcast on June 12 has been cancelled. President Tinubu will deliver his address from the National Assembly,” Imohiosen said.
Onnuga said his principal would speak on the nation’s democratic journey since 1993, celebrate the heroes and heroines of the democratic struggle, and speak on his plans to build a prosperous country that will benefit all Nigerians.
