Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar expressed sympathy for President Bola Tinubu, who stumbled and fell from his presidential vehicle during the Democracy Day ceremony at Eagle Square in Abuja, an incident broadcast live on TV.
Atiku called the incident unfortunate and extended his best wishes to the president via social media.
President Tinubu slipped and fell heavily while trying to enter the presidential truck to wave at the crowd. The security team responded swiftly, but not before the president had fallen face down.
