Contrary to an earlier statement, President Bola Tinubu will not address a joint session of the National Assembly today, May 29, 2024.
A statement on Tuesday, had said the President, former Senate President, Senator David Mark, former speaker of the House of Representatives and now President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as well as former military ruler, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, were lined up to address the parliament.
However, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, in another statement late Tuesday, described the former one as false and unauthorised.
The Presidential spokesman said: “In furtherance of his commitment to delivering good governance, President Bola Tinubu has embarked on the inauguration of strategic projects across the country.
“More transformative projects will be inaugurated by President Tinubu’s administration for the benefit of all Nigerians.
“In view of public commentary concerning the President delivering a speech before a joint sitting of the National Assembly tomorrow, May 29, 2024, it is important to state that this information is false and unauthorised as the Office of the President was not involved in the planning of the event.”
