President Bola Tinubu has made light of his slip while trying to get on the parade vehicle during yesterday’s Democracy Day celebration at Eagle Square, Abuja.
Speaking at the 25th Democracy Day Anniversary Dinner held at the State House Conference Centre, Tinubu said his tumbling on the parade ground was an obeisance to democracy, adding that it was a day worth falling for.
He said as well-bred Yoruba ‘boy’ he was doing dobale (Yoruba word for prostration) at the Eagle Square.
“June 12 represents the heart and soul of our democratic struggle in the country. Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on the social media.
They are confused whether I was doing Buga or doing Babaringa but it is a day to celebrate democracy while doing ‘dobale’ for today.
“I am a traditional Yoruba boy, I did my dobale. Democracy is a day that is worth falling for. It is a thing of joy to see all of you here.”
