“It’s Normal to Fall”: Nigerians React to Tinubu’s Slip
Nigerians have taken to social media to react to a video showing President Bola Tinubu slipping while boarding the presidential parade vehicle at Eagles Square in Abuja.
Earlier, the President slipped while climbing the parade truck at the 2024 Democracy Day event.
As he approached the vehicle, he momentarily lost his footing but quickly regained his balance with the help of his security aides.
Despite the slip, the President continued with the proceedings, marking the country’s Democracy Day celebration.
Social media reactions varied, with some mocking the President while others downplayed the incident, emphasizing his quick recovery.
