The Federal Government has published the schedule of events for President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29.
Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Transition Council, said the plans put in place will ensure a seamless transfer of power on May 29 while announcing the program at a global press conference in Abuja on Thursday.
Mustapha also reassured the populace that nothing would prevent the inauguration from taking place on May 29th, stressing that the legal dispute would not be a reason for the event to be postponed. He continued by saying that the inauguration is a chance for Nigerians to see Nigeria’s progress, unity, and togetherness.
“Monday, May 29, 2023, will be the inauguration parade and swearing-in at Eagle Square,” he said while rolling out activities lined up to mark the presidential inauguration.
“Let me once again assure Nigerians and indeed the global community of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the seamless transfer of power to President-Elect, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The upcoming event is historically significant to this great nation and the international community, particularly Africa, because of the democratic values and lessons in nationhood. For these reasons, we have chosen “Nigeria: Better Together” as the theme for the 2023 transition.
“I am delighted to inform you that May 29, 2023, will mark the 7th consecutive democratic transition of power in Nigeria, and on that day, we shall all be ushering in the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The significance of the above is underscored by the desire of this administration to lay a solid foundation for seamless transition of power by institutionalising the process through legislation,” he said.
