Buhari Will Confer GCFR, GCON Honours On Tinubu, Shettima On 29th May – SGF Gives Update

President Muhammadu Buhari will present the National Honors of GCFR and GCON to President-elect Bola Tinubu and Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima on May 25 in advance of their May 29 inauguration dates.

Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, said this on Thursday at a global press conference in Abuja.

During the press conference to update the public on the schedule of events planned for the 2023 Presidential Inauguration, Mustapha reassured that nothing would prevent the ceremony from going as scheduled.

He announced the theme for the inauguration as ‘Nigeria: Better Together.’

“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,” the SGF submitted.

The National Security Adviser, Babagana Mungonu (retd), stated that all required preparations have already been made and that plans have been finalized for the accreditation of security personnel and the issuance of passes and identification documents.

He issued a warning to people who have no business being in the area of the event, but he emphasized that nothing bad is anticipated to happen during the handover ceremony.

He said: “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.

“The most important thing I need to convey to you is that we do not envisage anything that will be adverse or negative. So I urge everybody to be calm and the people who use social media, please understand this to our visitors, especially those who come from other countries as well. It’s time to learn much more.”
