As Tinubu continued the program, the administration made it clear that it was only an error and that nothing was wrong.
This incident happened at Eagles Square, where a number of events were planned to commemorate the nation's Democracy Day anniversary.
Dada Olusegun, the president's special adviser on social media, sent out a tweet with the explanation.
The statement reads: “Mr President missed his step while climbing into the truck at the June 12 Democracy Day celebration and tripped. It was a mild misstep. He immediately went on with the ceremonial rounds. No issues.”
