In a viral video, Tinubu had approached the vehicle shortly after his arrival at the Eagles Square in Abuja, where the celebration was taking place.
It was discovered that President Tinubu lost his foot momentarily when he was about to step into the vehicle.
Despite the incident, Tinubu immediately regained his feet and continued with the event on Wednesday.
The event at the Eagles Square was one of the series of programmes sidelined to celebrate the country’s democracy day anniversary.
Reacting to the development, the presidency said what happened was a misstep, adding that there was no issue as Tinubu went on with the programme immediately.
The clarification was made in a tweet by Dada Olusegun, the special adviser to the president on social media.
The statement reads:
This is similar to a moment when United States President Joe Biden slipped while climbing the steps of his private jet in 2021.
The incident happened when the US was just in his first year in office as the leader of the American country.
