President Bola Tinubu has laughed off his fall during the Democracy Day ceremony which got many Nigerians talking.
He made light of his fall during the Democracy Day ceremony in Abuja on Wednesday June 12, 2024.
Tinubu described his hitting the ground as a sign of paying respect to the historical day in the Nigerian political calendar.
“Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on the social media. They’re confused whether I was doing buga or doing babanriga. But it’s a day to celebrate democracy while doing idobale for the day. I’m a traditional Yoruba boy, I did my idobale.”
Recall that the President while trying to enter the presidential truck to wave at the crowd at the venue of the event at Eagle Square in Abuja, had a nasty slip and tumble. His security details swiftly assisted him in getting back up immediately after hitting the deck.
Much later, the President entered the presidential truck to wave at the crowd.
