Tinubu to address joint NASS session on May 29
President Bola Tinubu will not broadcast to the nation on Wednesday to celebrate his first anniversary, presidential media aide Bayo Onanuga said.
In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Mr Onanuga said Mr Tinubu would address a joint session of the National Assembly instead.
He said the assembly has lined up a programme to commemorate 25 years of the nation’s democratic journey at both the executive and legislative levels.
The presidential aide said Mr Tinubu’s speech would dwell on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democracy since 1999.
He added that former Senate President David Mark, former speaker of the House of Representatives and now Mr Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, would address the parliament.
He said former military ruler Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, who handed power over to civilian administration in 1999, would also speak.
