Democracy Day: Tinubu addresses Nigerians Monday
President Bola Tinubu will address the nation on Monday, June 12, in commemoration of Democracy Day, the Federal Government announced on Friday.
According to Akume, this year’s celebration would be kept low-key, owing to the fact that the nation just came out of an elaborate Presidential Inauguration Programme.
“It is important to note that the Democracy Day has been reviewed to be celebrated annually from May, 29 to June 12 to honour the heroes who championed the struggle and made extra-ordinary sacrifice for the enthronement of the democratic rule in Nigeria from 1999 till date.
“However, May 29 remains the date or anniversary of handing over or taking over of power, and this happens every four (4) years according to the Nigerian Constitution.
“It is pertinent to state that having had an elaborate Presidential inauguration this year, activities to mark the 2023 June 12, Democracy Day will be low key with the following two major activities:
“The events will be broadcast live on all major stations and streamed on various social media platforms,” Akume stated.
