President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has broken his silence about the incident at Eagle Square, Abuja on Wednesday morning when he missed his step and fell while entering the Presidential Parade Review Vehicle at the event commemorating Democracy Day.
Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, had 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.”
But speaking at a State Dinner to mark the Democracy Day, the President referred to the fall as “Swagger,” saying Social Media is confused about it.
According to the President: “Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on the social media. They are confused whether I was doing buga or doing babbaringa. But it is a day to celebrate Democracy while doing dobale for the day. I am a traditional Yoruba boy, I did my dobale.”
