“You’re All Reelected,” President Tinubu Taunts the 10th Assembly Members

By Emmanuel Kwada

President Bola Tinubu addressed the joint sessions of the National Assembly on Wednesday, presenting the 2025 Budget, which he dubbed the “Budget of Restoration.” However, his speech took an unexpected turn when he mistakenly referred to the 10th Assembly as the 11th.

The President’s gaffe was quickly corrected by the members of the National Assembly, but not before he jokingly told them that they were all “relected” into the 11th Assembly. Despite the lighthearted moment, the President’s mistake sparked a flurry of reactions from the lawmakers.

In his speech, President Tinubu expressed optimism about the country’s economic prospects, stating that the economy is responding positively to stimulus measures. He assured Nigerians that they will soon experience a better economy.

The “Budget of Restoration” is expected to outline the government’s spending plans for the upcoming year, with a focus on revitalizing key sectors

It’s worth noting that the National Assembly had earlier debunked reports that President Tinubu would present the 2025 Appropriation Bill to a joint session on Wednesday. However, the President’s presentation went ahead as scheduled, with the budget proposal aiming to restore economic growth and development.

The “Budget of Restoration” is expected to outline the government’s spending plans for the upcoming year, with a focus on revitalizing key sectors and improving the overall economic outlook. As the National Assembly begins to review the budget proposal, Nigerians will be watching closely to see how the government’s plans will impact their lives.
