President Bola Tinubu has responded to the social media reactions after he tripped and fell while climbing into a vehicle for a Democracy Day procession at Eagle Square in Abuja, saying it was a day worth falling for.
According to him, as a traditional Yoruba ‘boy’ he was doing dobale (Yoruba word for prostrating to greet elders) at the Eagles Square, saying democracy was worth falling for.

He said: “June 12 represent 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 ‘dobalee’ for today.
“I am additionally Yoruba boy, I did my dobale. Democracy is a day that is worthy of falling for.”
