A video that is currently trending online has captured the moment President Bola Ahmed Tinubu slipped and fell during the Democracy Day celebration.

The incident which occurred while he was trying to climb onto a parade vehicle has garnered the attention of many Nigerians.

The president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had appeared at Eagles Square in Abuja, to celebrate Democracy Day when the unfortunate incident happened.

He had slipped and hit his head hard but his security personnel were quick to contain the accident to avoid it from escalating.

However, from the video which is been circulated online, it is unclear why the president slipped and unknown if he sustained any injury.

While some suggested that it was his flowing attire that caused the fall, others shared that the vehicle stairs were probably slippery.

Below are some of the reactions,
