Akpabio-1 (1) (1).webp
The Digest:

Senate President Godswill Akpabio caused a stir during a speech when he mistakenly referred to the funeral of late President Muhammadu Buhari as 'Tinubu's burial.' This slip of the tongue follows a similar blunder made by Governor Hope Uzodimma.


Key Points:
  • Akpabio was speaking about the funeral of Buhari during an official address.
  • Inadvertently, he called it "Tinubu's burial," which was quickly corrected.
  • The slip comes after Hope Uzodimma made the same mistake earlier.
  • Both Akpabio and Uzodimma later attempted to downplay their errors, attributing them to honest mistakes.
  • This gaffe has led to widespread reactions on social media, with many commenting on the Freudian slip.
  • While some believe it to be a harmless error, others suggest it could indicate deeper political undercurrents.
  • Reactions range from humor to concern, with some speculating about the intentions behind the repeated mistake.

The blunders by Akpabio and Uzodimma have sparked conversations across the political landscape, with many calling it a mere slip of the tongue, while others raise questions about political intentions.
