Video: ‘You’re all re-elected,’ Tinubu tells NASS lawmakers after mistakenly referring to the 10th Senate as the 11th
Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, while presenting N47.9 trillion Appropriation Bill, told lawmakers they were “all re-elected”, after mistakenly referring to the 10th Senate as the 11th.
The President’s light-hearted remarks, made after the correction, drew laughter and applause from legislators, easing the formal tone of the event.

“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 National Assembly,” Tinubu said.
After being reminded by lawmakers that they were the 10th National Assembly, the President responded humorously, “10th? I wrote 11th, which means you’re all re-elected.”
