“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.<\/em>”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n
