President Bola Tinubu addressed lawmakers on Wednesday during the presentation of the 2025 budget at the National Assembly, where he made a slight slip-up by mistakenly referring to the 10th Senate as the 11th. However, he quickly corrected himself and, in an effort to ease the moment, humorously told the lawmakers that they were all re elected.
The comment was met with lighthearted reactions, as the President acknowledged the error and expressed confidence in the continued partnership between the executive and the legislative branches. Despite the minor blunder, the focus remained on the presentation of the budget, which is set to guide the nation's economic direction for the year.
The 2025 budget presentation highlighted the government's priorities for national development, with an emphasis on economic reforms, infrastructure, and social welfare. While the President’s comment about re election was a brief diversion, it did not overshadow the important discussions surrounding the country’s fiscal future.
