President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amused lawmakers on Wednesday during the presentation of the 2025 budget when he mistakenly referred to the 10th National Assembly as the 11th.
The humorous exchange occurred after legislators corrected the President’s slip, which was captured in a viral video lasting one minute and 14 seconds.
“In fulfilment of one of my constitutional duties and with an unyielding commitment to rebuilding Nigeria towards ensuring that we remain steadfast on a journey to a prosperous future, I hereby present the 2025 budget to the joint session of the 11th National Assembly,” Tinubu initially stated.
Legislators promptly pointed out the error, leading to Tinubu’s witty response: “10th? I wrote 11th, which means you’re all re-elected.”
The lighthearted moment brought laughter to the joint session, showcasing a lighter side of the presidential address.
