WATCH: Despite Being Labelled Rubber-stamp, National Assembly Members Sing "On Your Mandate We Shall Stand" During Tinubu's 2026 Budget Presentation

God, of all countries in the world, you chose Nigeria to put me in.

Sahara Reporters and other non-establishment media platforms should have requested for focus coverage of defiant Senators (Abaribe) and Rep members (Dasuki) during this shambolic sessions. This is what balanced journalism should look like.

Omo 💆🏽‍♂️ how I wan take explain this thing to person

Our National Assembly's national anthem 🤣😅 "...on your mandate..." Nigeria in the pocket. Our life president

Nigeria from top to bottom is a scam including judiciary. No PROBLEM can be SOLVED from the same level of CONSCIOUSNESS THAT CREATED IT. Politics of Nigeria would make a honest person to be corrupt including the PASTORS, IMAMS, TRADITIONAL RULERS, LAWYER'S & JUDGES

So while Nigerians struggle with rising costs, failing infrastructure, and security crises, the so-called “rubber-stamp” legislators stand and sing loyalty to a budget that doesn’t serve the people. The mandate is supposed to protect citizens, not glorify themselves. Weep for a democracy where applause drowns out accountability.

I’m still trying to understand the kind of Voodoo the Nigerian criminal president Mr Bola Tinubu used to hypnotize the Criminal National Assembly rubber-stamp politicians.

Nigerians' loyalty often feels like a game of self-interest: they'll stand by you faithfully as long as the benefits keep flowing, but the moment a richer offer emerges, that allegiance flips in an instant. We saw this play out vividly during Goodluck Jonathan's presidency, where supporters jumped ship for higher bidders without a second thought.

When loyalty to power replaces loyalty to country, institutions lose their meaning. This is a troubling symbol of a captured legislature.😭

Most useless National Assembly in Nigeria’s history, not lawmakers but cheerleaders. Rubber stamp assembly, standing on mandate instead of standing for Nigerians.

Imagine all National Assembly 😂😂, you are done in that country 😂

senator akpabio is most useless and incompetent Senate president in Nigeria history

This group of misfits are ready to amend the constitution and give the slow President a lifetime stay as Nigerian President. We should all be very worried.

A rubber-stamp parliament singing loyalty songs is a national embarrassment. The National Assembly is not sworn to Tinubu’s mandate but to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This song must be banned in parliament. Democracy demands better.

While I am a member of the APC, I believe it is important to uphold institutional integrity. The National Assembly should remain non-partisan in its ceremonies, The National Assembly is a sacred national institution, our National Anthem, not partisan songs, should be sung in such a setting.

We now have two national Athems one fir the elites and one for the poor masses

Uselessly shame1ess ee deots .

If you can afford it, now is the time to make that decision at least for your sanity and peace of mind..just leave Nigeria and love her from afar, if not ,you fit wake up one morning begin craze because nothing sane happens in that country.

Foolish old men and women

Shamelessness dey learn work from this bunch. I bet they have started booking interviews with major news network to attempt to "Clear the air" some will even claim that the music played by itself

A cursed people. The Nigerian Govt dey Bukky the citizens and rather than stand up to the bully, the citizens cower like dominos. It’s truly sad to see. Complete state capture

That was a Nigeria new national anthem, joke country

And we have refused to do something about this deliberate and continuous abuse/disgrace of Nigeria by APC. What kind of system is this? Is this still democracy or totalitarianism?

Nigeria National Assembly don’t care about Nigeria

Where are the oppositions in the Assembly? There should be a way to protest this impunity. We are so cooked right now. A national Assembly with political parties singing this? No, no, no

Madness 😠 The main reason he changed national anthem, so that "on their mandate" will become the new national anthem. Madness 😠

The Hallowed Chamber has become the House of Zombies. The Den of rogues.

This is no longer national assembly but national Squanders they are there to rubber stamp and then squander it all

Nigeria is being deliberately weakened. Since APC came into power, institutions meant to protect democracy have been reduced to tools of the executive. Today, this collapse of responsibility is no longer hidden, it is openly displayed and normalized. This is not a cry of despair. It is a warning rooted in history. Power is temporary, but consequences are permanent. Those actively participating in the destruction of Nigeria should remember that no government rules forever. The harm done today will be answered tomorrow. When the people reclaim their country, justice and accountability will follow. The deeper the damage now, the greater the reckoning later. Nigeria will rise again, and those who failed her will have to answer, peacefully, lawfully, and inevitably. insha’Allah.

Where is that Zamfara lawmaker? Hope he's not singing

This is the problem, that we used our vote to cause for ourselves.

Nothing like country again we are in a dictatorship time the youths need to wake up and unite to take this wicked monsters and criminals party called apc from power

As e reach budget all of una sitdown chair quietly 😂💔una wan still embezzle the nation’s future. 9ja my country

There’s an evil territorial spirit that has captured the state and its people but not for us God’s children.
