Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu has arrived at the National Assembly Complex as part of his itinerary to commemorate the 25 years of unbroken democracy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Tinubu\u2019s motorcade arrived at the National Assembly at about 11:57am and he\u2019s yet to enter the chamber.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the president\u2019s arrival, the Speaker of the House, Abbas Tajudeen, alongside the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, entered the chamber.<\/p>\n

Mr Akpabio announced that the President would not address the chamber but only listen to the Old National Anthem.<\/p>\n

He urged the lawmakers to download the new anthem.<\/p>\n

However, the President, thereafter, made a brief speech to the lawmakers.<\/p>\n

This is coming amid confusion from the Presidency over conflicting statements of Tinubu addressing a joint session of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the National Assembly had announced that it would hold a special joint session on Wednesday to mark the 25th anniversary of democracy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
