Bombings: Jonathan cancels Democracy Day ceremony

 

The Goodluck Jonathan administration has cancelled the 2012 Democracy Day ceremony that would have held in Abuja Tuesday (today). However, President Goodluck Jonathan will make a national broadcast at 8 o’clock this morning to mark the anniversary.
A statement by the presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, on Monday said the Jonathan broadcast would be aired live from the President’s office. The President’s speeches in the past have been widely said to have been pre-recorded.
There was no official reason adduced for cancellation of the Democracy Day activities but there were speculations that the government’s decision was informed by the security situation in the country, especially the fear of terrorists’ attack. So everyone, sit around your teevee sets for the live broadcast by 8AM.
