Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is currently trending on social media after he made a gaffe while speaking about former President Buhari’s funeral.

This happened during plenary yesterday, July 23.

The red chamber organized a special session to celebrate the life and times of the former Nigerian leader who died in a UK hospital on Sunday, July 13.

While speaking during the session, Akpabio mistakenly mentioned ‘’Tinubu’s burial’ instead of saying ‘’Buhari’s burial’.

He said; ‘’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 was immediately alerted, and he corrected himself.

‘’President Buhari rather….sorry”

Recall that Buhari died in London on July 13 and was flown back to Daura, Katsina State, where he was buried on July 15.

Upon arrival in Daura, Tinubu led a federal government delegation to receive Buhari’s corpse at the airport.

The president was present during the state burial accorded to Buhari.

Speaking about President Tinubu’s contributions towards the success of the burial, Akpabio said: “The whole country is very proud of what this administration has done in the way and manner President Bola Tinubu was honoured and was buried. President Buhari was honoured and buried rather.

“Distinguished Senator Ningi, you also observed that President Bola Tinubu will not be forgotten for what he did during the burial ceremony of Buhari.

“In the Senate, we are also determined to ensure that in our books, the records say he should also have this valedictory, despite all said and done.”
