Reacting to the development, the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, in a post on X, briefly after the incident, said Tinubu is in good condition, adding that there is nothing to worry about.
He wrote, “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 event at Eagles Square was among various activities arranged to commemorate the nation’s Democracy Day.
