Nigerians Criticize Tinubu Govt Over 65th Independence Day Parade Cancellation

The cancellation of Nigeria's 65th Independence Day parade by the Tinubu government has sparked backlash, with many Nigerians criticizing the lack of explanation. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, faced condemnation for the vague announcement, leading to concerns about transparency and public trust.

The decision to cancel the parade without a clear rationale has raised questions about security, budget constraints, and public health. The Freedom of Information Act 2011 advocates for transparency in such matters.

Nigerians are demanding clarity and justification for the cancellation to avoid unnecessary speculation and maintain public confidence in government actions.
