“It Was A Mild Misstep,” Presidential Aide Tags Tinubu’s Fall At Eagles Square Democracy Day Event

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu missed his step and fell while walking into a Presidential Parade vehicle that would convey him for a parade at Eagle Square, in commemoration of Democracy Day.

But Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has played down concerns over President Bola Tinubu’s brief slip while boarding a parade vehicle at the June 12 Democracy Day celebration in Abuja.

The aide, in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, said, “Mr President missed his step while climbing into the truck at the June 12 Democracy Day celebration and tripped. It was a mild misstep. He immediately went on with the ceremonial rounds. No issues.”

The aide’s statement comes after videos circulated showing the President momentarily losing his footing while stepping into the vehicle.

He was surrounded by personnel of the Armed Forces and some of his personal aides.

However, Tinubu who wore a white native attire popularly known as agbada and his signature cap, struggled to save himself by holding on to the vehicle, but landed on the ground while his aides rushed to support him back to his feet.

The parade later continued as the President waved to the crowd while the vehicle slowly made its way through.

The ceremony at Eagles Square was a flagship event in a roster of festivities held across the nation to commemorate the country’s annual Democracy Day celebration.
