The Presidency has said there is no truth in reports that the Federal Government is considering shifting the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari for second term from May 29 to June 12.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made the clarification in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday.


Media reports last week claimed Buhari would be inaugurated on June 12, the day the government has declared as the country’s new Democracy Day.

But Shehu told our correspondent that the President’s first term would expire on May 29, 2019, having been inaugurated on May 29, 2015.

He said those who were behind the reports were only attempting to cause confusion in the polity.


The presidential spokesman promised that the Presidency would soon issue a statement on the matter.

He said, “There is no truth in that report. As a matter of fact, we will soon issue a statement on it to clear the air.

“The President was inaugurated for his first term in office on May 29, 2015. He ceases to be President on May 29, 2019, if he is not inaugurated for his second term on that day.

“For the avoidance of doubt, there is no plan to shift the President’s inauguration to June 12. The inauguration will hold on May 29. Those claiming that the inauguration will be shifted to June 12 are only trying to cause confusion in the polity. It is not true.”

Buhari had last year changed the nation’s Democracy Day from May 29 to June 12 of every year.


A bill he sent to the National Assembly to amend the the nation’s Public Holidays Act had since been passed into law.

The declaration was part of the decision taken to honour the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late Chief M.K.O. Abiola.

The President had also at the time honoured Abiola with the highest national honour of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, posthumously.


He also honoured Abiola’s running mate in the election, Babagana Kingibe, with the second highest national honour, Grand Commander of the Order of Niger.

See as north they toy with these people brain

I knew before too

As far as he(Buhari) remains in that office, inauguration or no inauguration NOTHING, I mean, absolutely nothing will change.
He is clueless and senile!
No economy policy blueprint, no agenda, Nothing!

Another Buhari's four years will spell total doom for the country.
A man who supports evil is not a man that will guarantee Nigeria's development.

The youths must unite and fight for their future.

Exercise in futility if you ask me. He's only holding that position on behalf of Atiku.

IBB problem to dis country is still hurting us till date.

idiotic pigs will not understand, May 29th is inauguration day, while June 12th is democracy day.

PapaBaby:

Kaduna
Moreover some of these projects were started by the previous administration

This is after they have obessed Nigerians with their lies as usual.

Lalasticlala will there be public holidays on those two days?

It's not as if anybody celebrates anything spectacular on those days..

Please is their something wrong with the light situation, it's getting really really bad these days..

They started with Boko Haram, they added Fulani herdsmen, and bandits, others following up soon but they are the same people with the same agendas.
The north will destroy themselves by themselves.

I'm a very ardent proponent of sustainable development in my dear country, but the reality on ground is saying otherwise.
The truth is that the current crop of leaders in the country CAN'T guarantee any meaning development.
You can't give what you don't have!

Buhari has no economic blueprint for SUSTAINABLE growth in Nigeria.

Which inauguration? Atiku is claiming his mandate whether Buhari likes it or not.

Which ever date they choose, they should not forget to invite all Presidential Aspirants including the Aggrieved ones who felt their mandate was stolen. They should be admonished to sheath their sword and allow the Forward Moving Train continue it's journey into Prosperity.

Peace.
