President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has cancelled the previously scheduled national broadcast to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day on Thursday, June 12, opting instead to deliver his address at a joint session of the National Assembly.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on by the Director of Information and Public Relations at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Segun Imohiosen.
“Due to H.E President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scheduled attendance at the National Assembly Joint Session, the Presidential National Broadcast on June 12 has been cancelled,” the statement read. “President Bola Ahmed will deliver his address from the National Assembly. All other plans are in order as announced earlier.”
Earlier communications had indicated that the president would address the nation in a live broadcast as part of activities marking Democracy Day, which honours the June 12, 1993, election widely considered the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history.
