A video circulating online shows Musa visibly startled as he struggled to explain the term. Unable to provide a clear definition, the senator quietly took his seat while the plenary session continued.

Reactions on social media were swift and critical:

@BlakKTerMinaTor wrote: “Look at the people leading us. Does Akpabio even know the meaning? Why is the Senate President acting like these elected officials are his subjects?”

@Seyimi_auto commented: “The people who write speeches for these officials without explaining them deserve blame. How can you write something for someone without telling them what it means?”

@Caustiq_ said: “It’s both funny and troubling that he was likely the one who used that word but couldn’t explain it in context. This is how meaningless bills get pushed—written by others and not even understood by the lawmakers.”

@ArcaSewakanu questioned: “This is the caliber of people making laws in Nigeria? How do you expect progress with such lawmakers? How can someone like this grasp the impact of any policy? What have we done to deserve this? How long will it continue?”

@enyinyidaniel stated: “These are the people making laws for over 200 million Nigerians. Many don’t even deserve to be in the Senate or politics in general.”

@emmarnoel offered a different view: “I don’t see a problem. Senators are allowed to refer to documents for clarity. He could have simply checked a dictionary but wanted to sound clever. ‘Harmonize is a situation where…’—that’s wrong. Harmonize isn’t a situation, boss.”

@amdondadah added: “I’m not surprised. It’s clear who we voted to represent us. One of the dangers of nepotism is having incapable people who ruin things instead of managing them.”

@smartaxus remarked: “Look at this person, just sitting there collecting money for no reason.”

@nnabuagha_n concluded: “A ‘Distinguished Senator’ who doesn’t know what HARMONIZE means. Na wa o. He probably won’t even understand PHOTOSYNTHESIS.”

Would you like me to help craft a headline or social media post for this?
