President Bola Tinubu arrived at the National Assembly Complex as part of activities commemorating 25 years of unbroken democracy in Nigeria.
Although lawmakers were prepared for his arrival, the President has yet to enter the chamber. His motorcade reached the National Assembly at 11:57 a.m., following over three hours of anticipation by the House.
Following the arrival of the motorcade, Speaker of the House Abbas Tajudeen and Senate President Godswill Akpabio entered the chamber. Senator Akpabio announced that President Tinubu would not address the chamber but would listen to the Old National Anthem instead. He also encouraged lawmakers to download the new anthem.
More to come…
