Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration for a second term on May 29, will be a low-key affair.
The minister who disclosed this when he addressed State House correspondents said the decision to have a low-key inauguration for the president was taken at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday, May 8.
According to him, some events slated for the inauguration will now be held during the first observance of June 12 as the National Democracy Day for Nigeria.
”Since the first observance of June 12 as Democracy Day falls into an election year, and as a measure to sustain June 12 as Democracy Day, the celebration of the inauguration and the advancement of democracy in the country will now take place on June 12,” he said.
Going further, he said details of the events slated for the two ceremonies will be unveiled at a world press conference.

Mohammed, in a statement made available to Legit.ng said the fact that the valedictory session of the federal cabinet will be held on May 22, 2019, does not mean that the cabinet will be dissolved on the same day.
