JUST-IN: Tinubu Cancels Democracy Day Broadcast, To Address Nigerians From NASS

President Bola Tinubu has cancelled the planned national broadcast earlier scheduled for Thursday, June 12, in commemoration of Nigeria’s 26th Democracy Day anniversary. Instead, he will deliver his Democracy Day address before a special joint session of the National Assembly.

The change was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director of Information and Public Relations in the office of the SGF, Segun Imohiosen.

“Due to H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR’s scheduled attendance at the National Assembly Joint Session, the Presidential National Broadcast on June 12 has been cancelled,” the statement read.

However, other Democracy Day activities will continue as earlier announced. These include a public lecture scheduled for 4:00pm at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
