In a video shared on YouTube by TVC News, the representative for Ibadan North-East/South-East Federal Constituency in Oyo state, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) appeared to falter repeatedly as he attempted to move his motion, drawing attention from colleagues.
The Speaker of the House intervened, offering guidance and corrections to help him properly articulate his points.
After the Speaker’s assistance, the lawmaker successfully moved the motion, though the incident sparked reactions from viewers online, with many commenting on the need for improved public speaking skills among legislators.
The video has since gone viral, and many Nigerians have contributed their pennies to the embarrassing scene.
