“The country is proud of the way President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was buried” — Akpabio slips
Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, made an unintentional slip of the tongue during a plenary session at the National Assembly when he mistakenly referred to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu instead of the late Muhammadu Buhari.
The incident was captured in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the official handle of AIT, @AIT_Online.
In the video, while addressing the Senate, Akpabio praised the nation’s handling of the funeral, saying: “The whole country is very proud of what this administration has done, in the way and manner president Bola Ahmed Tinubu was honored and was buried.”
He intended to speak about former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on July 13, 2025, at a London clinic.
