President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has claimed that the he didn’t fall incident at the Eagle Square in Abuja while celebrating the 2024 Democracy Day.
He explained that he did not slip and fall at the event but did what every traditional Yoruba ‘boy’ would do on such occasion, ‘dobale’ – which means prostration.
Naijaloaded recalls that a video had circulated on June 12 captured the scary moment Tinubu missed his step as he was mounting the truck.
As Tinubu was about to mount the Presidential Parade Vehicle, he lost his balance, slipped and fell while climbing the stairs onto the platform.
Men of the Guards Brigade immediately rushed to his side to help him stand and was accompanied to the venue by his wife, Oluremi Tinubu.
Speaking about the incident during the Democracy Day dinner on Wednesday night at the Presidential Villa, Tinubu said;
“Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on social media. They’re confused whether I was doing bugger or babariga.
“But it is day to celebrate democracy, why doing dobale on the day? I’m a traditionally Yoruba boy. I did my dobale.”
