The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has dismissed concerns over President Tinubu's brief slip while boarding a parade vehicle at the June 12 Democracy Day celebration in Abuja.

In a post on his social media handle, Olusegun stated that the President simply missed his step while climbing into the truck and tripped, but immediately continued with the ceremonial rounds. He emphasized that there were no issues.

This statement comes after videos circulated showing President Tinubu momentarily losing his footing while stepping into the vehicle.

Despite the slip, the President quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings. The ceremony at Eagles Square was a flagship event in a roster of festivities held across the nation to commemorate the country's annual Democracy Day celebration.
