The Presidential Transition Council has advised those who do not have business at Eagle Square, Abuja, on May 29, to stay off.
President-elect, Bola Tinubu and Vice-President-elect, Kashim Shettima, will on the said date take their oaths of office as the 16th President and Vice-President of Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno (rtd), who is a member of the Council, said all arrangements for accreditation and issuance of passes and identity documents for security agents had been concluded.
“My only advice is that if you have no business in security, you need not be near the vicinity of the programme, especially on the Inauguration Day”.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Council, Boss Mustapha, described the upcoming event as historically significant.
He disclosed that the inauguration programme has as its theme, “Nigeria: Better Together”.
Responding to a question on protests against the inauguration by some opposition elements, Mustapha said, “Let me say without any fear of contradiction, there will be an inauguration on 29th of May. We will proceed with the inauguration of President-elect Tinubu and the litigation will continue. Our Constitution and Electoral Act have dealt with that. Our laws are sacrosanct”.
