The Federal Government says President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration for a second term in office on May twenty-ninth will be low-keyed and that a number of events slated for the inauguration will be held on June twelve.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, disclosed this to State House correspondents on the activities slated to mark the May twenty-ninth inauguration.
The Minister said the decision to have a low-keyed inauguration for the president was taken at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council on May eight.
He said, however, that invitations had been sent to world leaders to attend the ceremonies, marking the observance of Democracy Day on June twelve.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had in June last year, directed that from this year, the Nation’s Democracy Day, being celebrated every May twenty-ninth for the past eighteenth years, be shifted to June twelve, to honour Chief Moshood Abiola the acclaimed
winner of the June twelve 1993, Presidential election which was annulled by former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida
