Like Gov Uzodinma, the President of the Alpabio Goofs Senate for Buhari’s Burial (Video)

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday, suffered a big mistake when praising the Tinubu Ball President for his role in the burial of the late former Muhammadu Buhari President, when he said that the Nigerians were proud of the “Tinubu respected and buried way.”

In a video that is trending that has made a round on social media, when talking to his colleagues in a red room, Akpabio said the whole country was impressed with the way and way of “Ball President Ahmed Tinubu was honored and buried” instead of Buhari.

“The whole country is very proud of what has been done by this government in the way and way of the Tinubu Ball President is honored and buried,” Akpabio said, before he realized his mistakes and quickly corrected himself and said, “President Buhari is respected and buried better”.

He continued to add:
“Distinguishing Senator Ningi, you also observe that the President of the Tinubu ball will not be forgotten because of what he did during the Buhari Funeral Ceremony. In the Senate, we were also determined to ensure that in our book, notes said he also had to hold this farewell speech, regardless of everything that was said and done.”

Slip Freudian Akpabio will come shortly after the Governor of the IMO State, Hope Uzodinma who also calls the deceased Buhari as Tinubu.

Uzodinma has also made an embarrassing mistake during the Zonal Public Session Constitutional review held at Onturi on Saturday, July 19, where he called Tinubu as the deceased Buhari.

“Hopefully the soul of the former President of the Soccer …,” the governor has started before correcting himself:

“… Former President Muhammadu Buhari, and the souls of all those who died, through God’s grace, rest peacefully.”

It is against this background that most democratic countries  make constitutional provisions for a free press . Others even go further to enact specific laws to make affairs of governments freely available to the public. Currently, there are more than  130 countries in the world that have free press laws. They include Sweden, United States, France, South Africa and Nigeria.
