President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will address the nation in a broadcast on Sunday, August 4, 2024.
This is as stakeholders have called on the President to address the nation amid the ongoing protest against hardship.
In a statement on Saturday, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had said Tinubu’s silence was worrisome.
“It is worrisome that President Tinubu could remain silent as Nigerians are on the streets demanding for good governance, protection, security and welfare, which are the primary purpose of government, Debo Ologunagba, spokesman of the PDP said in a statement.
