No Parade This Year as Tinubu Plans Morning Speech for Democracy Day
The Federal Government has officially called off the traditional military parade for the 26th Democracy Day celebration, which is set for Thursday, June 12, 2025. In a statement shared by Abdulhakeem Adeoye on behalf of the committee’s Director of Information and Public Relations, it was confirmed that President Bola Tinubu will instead deliver a national broadcast by 7 a.m. on the same day.
Later at noon, the President will join a special joint session of the National Assembly, where lawmakers will discuss national issues, reflect on the country’s democratic path, and speak on the need for unity and meaningful reforms. A public lecture will also take place by 4 p.m. at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja. The event is expected to draw key government figures, political leaders, and members of civil society, all gathering to assess the nation’s progress in democracy.
The theme for this year’s commemoration is “Consolidating on the Gains of Nigeria’s Democracy: Necessity of Enduring Reforms,” focusing on how far Nigeria has come and the steps needed to keep improving.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
