However, Tinubu who wore a white native attire popularly known as agbada and his signature cap, struggled to save himself by holding on to the vehicle, but landed on the ground while his aides rushed to support him back to his feet.

The parade later continued as the president waved to the crowd while the vehicle slowly made its way through.

The event at Eagles Square was part of a series of events to mark the country’s Democracy Day celebration.
