It is Tinubu’s first Democracy Day since assuming office on May 29, 2023.

Some of the dignitaries present to witness the event included Vice President Kashim Shettima, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.

Others are service chiefs; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babagana Kingibe; and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Adamu; APC National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore; among other top government officials.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that President Bola Tinubu says his administration will not tolerate illegal orders from courts used to truncate or abridge democracy.

He said the process of reforming the judiciary has started.

Tinubu stated this in his first Democracy Day speech broadcast to the nation on Monday morning, June 12.
