Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, has said President Bola Tinubu, will on Wednesday continue with commissioning of more transformative projects that will benefit all Nigerians.
In a statement he signed, Ngelale described as false and unauthorized public commentary circulating about President Tinubu delivering a speech before a Joint Sitting of the National Assembly on May 29, 2024.
According to him, the Office of the President was not involved in the planning of the event.
He said the projects inaugurated by President Tinubu are aimed to enhance the quality of life for Nigerians, providing them with better infrastructure, services, and opportunities.
The Presidential Spokesman said, the Tinubu’s administration is dedicated to ensuring that these projects are completed efficiently and effectively to benefit the nation.
The statement titled: “IN COMMEMORATION OF MAY 29 AND THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESIDENT TINUBU ADMINISTRATION”, Ngelale 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 unauthorized as the Office of the President was not involved in the planning of the event.”
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had earlier announced the event in a statement titled: “PRESIDENT TINUBU TO ADDRESS JOINT SITTING OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TOMORROW.”
His statement read: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not make a broadcast to the nation on Wednesday to celebrate his first anniversary as the leader of Nigeria.
“Instead, the President will address a joint session of the National Assembly, which has lined up a programme to commemorate 25 years of the nation’s democratic journey at both the executive and legislative levels.
“President Tinubu’s speech will dwell on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democracy since the military ceded power in 1999.
“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 are all lined up to address the parliament.
“Also lined up to speak is the former military ruler, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who handed over power to civilian administration in 1999.
“At the end of the speeches, President Tinubu will commission the National Assembly Library and Resource Center, now to be known as Bola Ahmed Tinubu Building.”
