Some members of the National Assembly halted an attempt by their colleagues to sing President Bola Tinubu’s anthem, ‘On Your Mandate We Shall Stand’, during the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives for the 2025 budget presentation by the President.
The incident occurred shortly after a prayer session before proceedings commenced.
Some lawmakers began singing the anthem, sparking resistance and uproar from others in the chamber.
The disruption halted the song, and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, promptly moved forward with the budget presentation process, delivering his speech.
