President Bola Tinubu will not deliver a broadcast to the nation on Wednesday to mark his first anniversary as Nigeria’s leader.

Instead, the President will address a joint session of the National Assembly, which has organized a program to commemorate 25 years of the nation’s democratic journey at both the executive and legislative levels.

His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

President Tinubu’s speech will focus on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s progress in democracy since the military ceded power in 1999.
