The Nigerian government is going to hold a “low-key” official ceremony to mark the one year in office of President Bola Tinubu, according to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
Mr Idris stated this on Wednesday at the ministerial press briefing series held at the Radio House in Abuja.
It is not clear if the government intends to hold the ceremony on 12 June, the day officially recognised as Democracy Day.
Nigeria’s Democracy Day celebration was being held on May 29 before President Buhari changed it to 12 June in commemoration of the 12 June 1993, presidential election annulled by the military government.
Election data showed Moshood Abiola won the polls but he was never formally declared winner and was not sworn into office by the military government of Ibrahim Babangida.
