Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, 72, took a tumble at an event celebrating 25 years of democracy in Abuja.
He slipped while climbing into a vehicle and needed assistance getting back on his feet.
Despite the fall, Tinubu continued with the program, with his aide downplaying the incident as a “mild misstep.”
Opposition leader Atiku Abubakar and activist Shehu Sani offered sympathies, with Sani noting that even presidents are human and prone to trips and falls.
While many Nigerians wished the president well, others raised concerns about his health, which was a topic of debate during his campaign.
Despite the fall, Tinubu carried on with the ceremony, showing resilience and determination.
