President Bola Tinubu will address the nation in a broadcast to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day on Wednesday.
Through a statement made available on Tuesday, Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, said Tinubu will address Nigerians at 7 a.m.
“Television, radio, and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to plug into the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) for the broadcast,” the statement reads.
Nigeria will mark its 25 years of unbroken democratic reign on June 12, which has been named Democracy Day.
The late Moshood Kashimawo Abiola popularly known as MKO was believed to have won the presidential election of June 12, 1993.
The election, recognized as the most free and fair in Nigeria’s political history was annulled by the military junta led by Ibrahim Babangida.
On the 6th of June, 2018, former President Muhammadu Buhari declared June 12 as the new date for the celebration of Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
Buhari also awarded the late Abiola with the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) honour.
