In a shocking slip-up that sent shockwaves across Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu took a dramatic tumble in what the Presidency now allegedly said was due to a poorly laid blue carpet during a high-profile state visit to Türkiye.
The incident unfolded amid a grand parade organized in the President’s honor, where he lost his footing on the occasion. In a video that have since gone viral, Tinubu stumbled, fell, and was swiftly helped to his feet by several men.
But fear not, Nigerians, the Presidency wasted no time in setting the record straight. In a swift statement, they pinned the mishap squarely on that infamous “poorly laid blue carpet,” insisting the President is “hale and hearty” with no underlying health issues.
“President Tinubu has since resumed his official duties. He is currently engaged in a bilateral meeting with Turkish authorities, after which a press conference will be held,” the Presidency assured, aiming to quell any speculation.
The faux pas comes as Tinubu pushes forward with critical diplomatic engagements, Nigerians are told, proving once again that even world leaders aren’t immune to the perils of a pesky rug.
