I did my dobale – President Tinubu jokes about him falling at Eagles Square
President Tinubu made a light-hearted comment about his fall at Eagles Square in Abuja on the morning of June 12.
While attempting to mount the parade vehicle, he missed a step and fell, a moment that quickly went viral on social media, leading to some Nigerians mocking him.
In response to the mockery, President Tinubu quipped that his fall was a gesture of respect to Nigeria, symbolically prostrating in honor of the country’s 25 years of uninterrupted democracy.
’Early this morning I had a swagger and it is on the social media. They are confused whether I was doing Buga or doing Babariga. but it is a day to celebrate democracy while doing dobale (prostration)for the day. I am a traditionally Yoruba boy, I did my dobale (prostration)”
