President Bola Tinubu will address the National Assembly on Wednesday, May 29 in commemoration of his first anniversary in office.
A statement on Tuesday by the president’s special adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga said Tinubu’s speech will focus on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democracy since the military ceded power in 1999.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not give a broadcast to the nation on Wednesday to celebrate his first anniversary as the leader of Nigeria,” the statement said.
“Instead, the President will address a joint session of the National Assembly, which has lined up a programme to commemorate 25 years of the nation’s democratic journey at both the executive and legislative levels.
“President Tinubu’s speech will dwell on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democracy since the military ceded power in 1999.”
Mr Onanuga said a former Senate President, Senator David Mark, former speaker of the House of Representatives and now Tinubu’s chief of staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, will also address the parliament.
Former military ruler, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who handed over power to civilian administration in 1999, will also speak.
“At the end of the speeches, President Tinubu will commission the National Assembly Library and Resource Center, now to be known as Bola Ahmed Tinubu Building,” he added.
