President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday slipped while boarding the parade vehicle during the celebration of the 2024 Democracy Day.
President Tinubu, who had earlier delivered a nationwide broadcast, arrived at Eagle Square for the parade on Wednesday morning.
The President had approached the vehicle shortly after he arrived at the Eagle Square, surrounded by men of the Armed Forces and some of his personal aides.
A video of the incident shows the President slipped as he was about to step into the vehicle surrounded by men of the Armed Forces and some of his personal aides.
However, Tinubu who wore a white native attire popularly known as agbada and his signature cap, struggled to save himself by holding on to the vehicle, but landed on the ground while his aides rushed to support him back to his feet.
The parade later continued as the president waved to the crowd while the vehicle slowly made its way through.
The event at Eagle Square was part of a series of events to mark the country’s Democracy Day celebration.
