President Bola Tinubu slipped while boarding the presidential parade vehicle at Eagles Square in Abuja.
The President slipped while climbing the parade truck at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day.
The President approached the vehicle shortly after he arrived at the venue of the programme, but lost his footing momentarily as he was about to step into the vehicle.
However, despite the slip, the President quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings with the help of his security aides.
The event at Eagles Square was part of a series of events to mark the country’s Democracy Day celebration.

I sincerely sympathise with President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, over this unfortunate incident as he was set to review the parade on Democracy Day. I do hope that all is well with him. -AA pic.twitter.com/XDkm10nVOt

Tinubu did not fall at the democracy day celebration event by accident, he fell because he’s too old and unfit for the office. His mental and motor coordination is near zero. And this is why Nigeria is also falling. Any other explanation is nonsense.
