President Bola Tinubu has cancelled the planned national broadcast earlier scheduled for Thursday, June 12, in commemoration of Nigeria’s 26th Democracy Day anniversary. Instead, he will deliver his Democracy Day address before a special joint session of the National Assembly.

The change was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director of Information and Public Relations in the office of the SGF, Segun Imohiosen.
