The President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian government has declared Monday, May 29, the Inauguration Day of the “president-elect”, Bola Tinubu as a work-free day for workers nationwide.
Recall that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba had also said that the May 29 date set for the inauguration of the Bola Tinubu was sacrosanct.
The police chief had said this while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He had described people making threats regarding the inauguration of Tinubu as unpatriotic brands, saying the police would defend Nigeria’s democracy.
He said the national intelligence community had been closely monitoring the activities of political elites and other elements “fantasising” about subverting national security interests.
He said, “Following the successful conclusion of the 2023 general elections, it has been observed that some major political actors that the outcome did not favour, have been issuing public threats that are directed at instigating actions to frustrate the presidential inauguration ceremony on 29th May, 2023.
“Police and the national intelligence community have been closely monitoring the activities of these political elites as well as other elements who have formed themselves into unpatriotic brands whose only fantasy, in recent times, is to subvert our national security interests.”
