The Federal Government has announced a military parade to mark this year’s Democracy Day on Wednesday at Eagle Square, Abuja. This event commemorates the historic June 12, 1993, presidential election won by the late Chief Moshood Abiola, which was annulled by the Babangida military administration.
The parade will begin at 8am, followed by a dinner at the State House Banquet Hall, Aso Villa, at 6pm. These events also mark 25 years of democracy in Nigeria.
Preceding the main celebration, a symposium will be held tomorrow at the State House at 9am, followed by a youth conference at Ladi Kwali Hall, Abuja Continental Hotel, at 6pm.
According to a statement by Abdulhakeem Adeoye on behalf of the Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), “only accredited Villa correspondents will be granted access to cover the events held at the Presidential Villa.”
