Ahead of the Democracy Day slated for Monday, June 12, 2023, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, said the activities would be low-key.
Akume, who disclosed this during a press conference in Abuja, stated that the move was necessary considering the just concluded elaborate Presidential inauguration.
The SGF also confirmed that there would be a live presidential broadcast on all major television and radio stations while streaming on various social media platforms.
His words:
“To commemorate this year’s anniversary, it is expedient for citizens and foreigners alike to take stock of how the nation has fared so far and assess the dividends that Democracy has ensued as well as areas where we need to make improvements.
“It is in light of this that the theme of this year’s democracy celebration is hope Reassured.
“Let me also assure everyone that adequate arrangements have been made for the safety and security of all people throughout the celebration period and beyond.”
June 12 is a public holiday to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day celebration and to celebrate Moshood Abiola, the winner of the presumed election winner in the 1993 presidential election.
