President Bola Tinubu has spoken about the incident at the Eagle Square, Abuja, on Wednesday morning when he slipped and fell.

President Tinubu missed his step and fell while entering a vehicle for a parade to commemorate Democracy Day 2024.

Speaking at a dinner, the President referred to the fall as “Swagger”, saying social media was confused about the fall.

“Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on the social media. They are confused whether I was doing buga or doing babariga, but it is a day to celebrate Democracy while doing dobale for the day. I am a traditional Yoruba boy, I did my dobale,” he said.
