On Monday, as part of the June 12 celebration, President Bola Tinubu will deliver his inaugural broadcast.

According to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, the celebration will be kept modest, in contrast to the grandeur of the recent presidential inauguration. Akume mentioned that the planned activities for the celebration include a press briefing and the President’s national address at 7 am on Monday.

Akume stated, “It is important to note that Democracy Day has been reviewed to be celebrated annually on June 12 to honor the heroes who championed the struggle and made extraordinary sacrifices for the enthronement of democratic rule in Nigeria from 1999 till date.
