A video showing the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, made a huge blunder after referring to President Bola Tinubu as the former President and a deceased individual during the Constitution Review Zonal Public Hearings in Owerri has surfaced on social media.
The event, held on Saturday, July 19, brought together delegates from Imo and Abia states to discuss constitutional reforms. However, Uzodinma’s solemn prayer took an unexpected turn when he made a slip of the tongue.
The governor while offering prayers for the demise of former President Muhammadu Buhari, said, “May the soul of former President Bola…” before pausing briefly.
He then continued, “Former President Muhammadu Buhari, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”
Recall that former President Muhammadu Buhari died in London after a prolonged illness and was buried in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State.
