President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not broadcast to the nation today to celebrate his first anniversary as the leader of Nigeria.
Instead, the president will address a joint session of the National Assembly, which has lined up programmes to commemorate 25 years of the nation’s democratic journey at both the executive and legislative levels.
In a statement issued by the special adviser on information and strategy to the president, Bayo Onanuga, he said President Tinubu’s speech will dwell on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democracy since the military ceded power in 1999.
“Former Senate President, Senator David Mark, former speaker of the House of Representatives and now President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is lined up to address the parliament.
“Also lined up to speak is the former military ruler, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who handed over power to the civilian administration in 1999.
“At the end of the speeches, President Tinubu will commission the National Assembly Library and Resource Centre, now to be known as Bola Ahmed Tinubu Building,” he said.
