President Bola Tinubu has succumbed to growing calls for him to address the nation amid widespread #EndBadGovernance protests that entered its third day on Saturday.
The ex-Lagos governor who has been at the centre of rallies against economic hardship and high living cost that have reverberated across Nigeria’s 36 states and the nation’s capital Abuja will address over 200 million citizens on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at 7:00 am, his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale said in a statement.
“Television, radio, and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to plug into the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) for the broadcast.
