Tinubu: I ‘Dobale’ for Democracy, Brushes Off Slip

President Bola Tinubu responded to the viral video of his stumble at Eagle Square in Abuja by emphasizing the value of democracy.

Tinubu, who tripped while boarding a vehicle for a parade during the 2024 Democracy Day event, made light of the situation by joking that he had simply paid homage to democracy in the Yoruba tradition.

He reiterated the importance of unity in Nigeria, regardless of differences in tribe, religion, or political beliefs, emphasizing that the country’s unity is non-negotiable. Tinubu’s stumble has sparked various reactions from Nigerians, including those from opposition members.
