The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has addressed the incident where President Tinubu slipped while boarding a parade vehicle during the June 12 Democracy Day celebration in Abuja.
In a post on his X handle on Wednesday, Olusegun reassured the public, stating, “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.”
This statement came in response to the circulation of videos showing President Tinubu momentarily losing his footing as he stepped into the vehicle. Despite the incident, the President quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings without further issues.
The ceremony at Eagles Square was a key event in the series of celebrations held nationwide to mark Nigeria’s annual Democracy Day, which commemorates the country’s return to democratic governance.
