‘Unfortunate Incident’ - Atiku Reacts As Tinubu Slips At Eagles Square

Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President of Nigeria, has reacted to the viral video that revealed the moment President Bola Tinubu slipped while boarding the presidential parade vehicle at Eagles Square in Abuja.

Recall that Tinubu approached the vehicle shortly after he arrived at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day, but lost his footing momentarily as he was about to step into the vehicle.

However, the President quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings with the help of his security aides.

Sharing the now trending video on X.com, Atiku wrote, “I sincerely sympathise with President Bola Tinubu, #officialABAT, over this unfortunate incident as he was set to review the parade on Democracy Day.

“I do hope that all is well with him.”
