President Bola Tinubu has cancelled his previously scheduled nationwide broadcast for Nigeria’s 26th Democracy Day anniversary and will instead deliver his address during a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday.
In an official statement issued by the Director of
Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, the cancellation is due to
President Bola Tinubu’s confirmed attendance at the Joint Session of the
National Assembly, where he will deliver his Democracy Day address instead.
“All other plans remain unchanged as previously announced,”
the statement noted.
The theme of this year’s Democracy Day celebration is
“Consolidating on the Gains of Nigeria’s Democracy: Necessity of Enduring
Reforms.” The theme reflects the administration’s emphasis on building upon
democratic milestones through institutional and structural reforms.
President Tinubu’s address from the National Assembly is
expected to highlight the government’s reform agenda, the importance of
national unity, and the collective responsibility of citizens and institutions
in sustaining democratic governance.
This year marks 26 years since Nigeria’s return to
democratic rule in 1999. June 12 was designated as Democracy Day in honor of
the widely acclaimed 1993 presidential election, considered one of the freest
and fairest in the nation’s history.
