Naija News reports that the planned nationwide broadcast was cancelled due to his scheduled address at the National Assembly Joint Session the same day.
The cancellation of the national broadcast comes on the heels of the earlier announcement that the Federal Government has decided to cancel the military parade that was to commemorate the 26th Democracy Day, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 12, 2025.
According to details released by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on the Democracy Day celebration, President Tinubu will instead participate in a special joint session of the National Assembly at 12 noon.
This joint session is anticipated to include discussions on the State of the Nation, reflections on Nigeria’s democratic journey, and renewed appeals for national unity and reform.
Later that day, a public lecture is planned to take place at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja at 4pm.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dele Momodu, has condemned the leaders of Nigeria, accusing them of causing hardship for the citizens.
According to Momodu, Nigerians are hungry, and the leaders don’t care how the citizens feel.
He lamented that democracy has been damaged in Nigeria, and civilian dictators are the ones in charge of the country.
Speaking on Wednesday, during an interview with Channels Television, the former PDP presidential aspirant said those who fought and died for democracy, particularly during the June 12 struggle, would be heartbroken if they could witness the current state of the nation.
Naija News reports that he submitted that politicians in all arms of government are responsible for the damage to Nigeria’s democracy.
