However, there has been conflicting information regarding President Tinubu’s expected address at the National Assembly. The National Assembly had announced on Monday that it would hold a special joint session on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of continuous democracy in Nigeria. President Tinubu was expected to attend and deliver a speech highlighting the achievements of his administration and the progress of Nigeria’s democracy since the military handed over power in 1999. Other leaders, including state governors, former leaders of the country, and National Assembly members, were also expected to be in attendance.
This announcement was confirmed by the special adviser to the President on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday. He indicated that President Tinubu’s speech would focus on the accomplishments of his administration.
However, Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, issued a contradictory statement on Tuesday. He denied that President Bola Tinubu would address a joint session of the National Assembly on Wednesday, stating that the Office of the President was not involved in the planning of the event.
This conflicting information has created confusion about whether President Tinubu will indeed address the National Assembly as previously expected.

Shock Reconciliation: “We Made Mistakes,” Wike Declares As He Forgives Fubara And Ends Feud!.
Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has announced that his long-running political dispute with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially ended, calling on both factions to support peace and unity.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during a media interview in Port Harcourt on Sunday, Wike acknowledged that mistakes were made on both sides and emphasized that Rivers State ultimately suffered the greatest losses during the conflict. He confirmed that he and Fubara are now cooperating, urging critics and political actors to foster reconciliation rather than dwell on past grievances.
The feud began after Fubara took office following Wike’s tenure, fueled by tensions over political structure and alignment. The rift eventually led to legislative friction and a federal intervention before a truce was reached.
Wike credited the breakthrough to mutual compromise and forgiveness, noting that a dedicated committee has been formed to engage stakeholders and solidify the peace process. He stressed the importance of cross-party collaboration through broad political coalitions, praised the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, and expressed confidence that stability will now allow Governor Fubara to focus fully on governance and development.
The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC), headed by Kalu Umeh (SAN), has scheduled September 30 to deliver its ruling in a professional misconduct case involving a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ikechukwu Ezechukwu, alongside lawyers Smart Ukpanah and Hope Onyekwere.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The petition, brought by Kingsley Aneubuna, accuses the respondents of forgery, perjury, and criminal misrepresentation stemming from a property transaction regarding a Dutse District plot in Abuja. According to the petitioner, he purchased a terrace duplex on the land in 2018 after receiving assurances from Ezechukwu that the title was unencumbered, only to later discover existing litigation, a court injunction, and the alleged unauthorized use of his name in court processes, alongside a backdated and altered agreement.
During the proceedings, defense counsel D.O. Okolo urged the panel to dismiss the case, citing a letter from the petitioner expressing a desire to withdraw the matter. However, the committee rejected the request, ruling that its regulations do not allow for a withdrawal once issues have been joined, and subsequently reserved its decision for September 30.
Prominent political figures—including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, and former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola—met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The gathering took place against the backdrop of intensifying political consultations and realignments as the country looks toward the upcoming general election. Governor Makinde shared details of the visit on social media, noting that the conversation revolved around critical national matters and upcoming electoral processes, while expressing gratitude for the former president’s guidance.
While specific details of the private meeting remain undisclosed, the cross-party attendance has fueled speculation regarding potential new alliances. Makinde, whose second term as governor is drawing to a close, previously announced his presidential bid under the Allied Peoples Movement following a joint event in Ibadan, criticizing current governance and calling for a national reset.
The 2027 presidential landscape features several key contenders, including incumbent President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
The meeting has drawn heightened interest due to the diverse political affiliations of the attendees, with Oyinlola representing the Peoples Democratic Party and Fayemi belonging to the APC. Meanwhile, former President Obasanjo has yet to officially endorse a candidate for the upcoming race, though he continues to be a central figure in ongoing political discussions and recent public debates involving other key political leaders.
