“You’re all reelected” Tinubu tells lawmakers after addressing them as 11th Assembly instead of 10th

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu playfully remarked that lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly had been “reelected” after he mistakenly referred to them as the 11th Assembly.

The mix-up occurred on Wednesday, December 18, during the president’s presentation of the 2025 budget to a joint session of the National Assembly.

In a now-viral video, some legislators corrected Tinubu’s error, prompting his lighthearted comment.

“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 stated. 

Following this, the legislators reminded the President that they were the 10th National Assembly. 

“10th? I wrote 11th, which means you’re all re-elected,” the President responded jokingly.
