There was drama at the national assembly when President Bola Ahmed declared an automatic re-election for lawmakers of the 10th assembly.
He made this statement as a joke after realizing he mistakenly referred to them as the 11th assembly instead of the 10th.
When he realized, he mentioned that it automatically means they have been re-elected to serve for another tenure amidst laughter in the house.
President Tinubu had visited the assembly to present the 2025 budget for the country.
The budget is christened ‘The Restoration Budget’.
A few weeks ago, the two chambers of the National Senate approved the 2025-2027 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) with a total spending of N47.9 trillion and a new borrowing plan of N9.22 trillion, constituting domestic and foreign borrowings.
While presenting details of the budget, President Tinubu said the 2025 appropriation was designed to address economic growth, human capital development, poverty reduction and insecurity.
