President Tinubu to newspapers; I’ll
apologize later:
President Tinubu explained further today why he cancelled any elaborate birthday for himself on 29 March. He restated that such ceremony will be out of tune with the national mood. Besides, he didn’t want government agencies to use public money to place congratulatory adverts for him. He restated that he would rather want well wishers give the money to orphanages or old people’s homes. He acknowledged that newspapers who were expecting to make money may have been hurt. “I know they will be angry with me. But I will apologize to them later”, he said.
