A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Reuben Abati, says the address will be aired live at 7 a.m. on the network
services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio
Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN). This will be the second time he will be addressing the
nation in two weeks.
The announcement is coming as a surprise to many considering
that the President addressed the nation on Nigeria’s Independence Day on
October 01, 2012.
Though the statement did not give any hint on the content of
Mr. Jonathan’s broadcast, it was revealed
that the President will address the Nation on the contentious and highly
charged Bakassi issue.
Nigeria has till the October 10, 2012, to appeal the
judgement of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that ceded Bakassi to
Cameroun.
