President Tinubu has joked about him falling at the Eagles Square Abuja on Wednesday morning, June 12. 

The President was mounting the parade vehicle when he missed a step and fell. A video of the incident trended on social media with some Nigerians mocking him.

Responding to his mockers, President Tinubu said the fall was him prostrating in respect to Nigeria for the 25 years of unbroken democracy. 

Describing his fall as ‘swagger’, the President said;

‘’Early this morning I had a swagger and it is on the social media. They are confused whether I was doing Buga or doing Babariga. but it is a day to celebrate democracy while doing dobale (prostration)for the day. I am a traditionally Yoruba boy, I did my dobale (prostration)''
