A video of Nigerian president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, missing his step and landing on the ground at the Democracy Day celebration has sparked reactions online.

Democracy Day in Nigeria is celebrated annually on June 12 to commemorate the restoration of democracy in 1999. Democracy Day was previously observed on May 29 but was changed to June 12 by former president Muhammadu Buhari to honor the late MKO Abiola, the winner of the historic 1993 elections.

In a live broadcast making the rounds online, President Tinubu was captured leaving the event at Eagle Square, Abuja after addressing the nation. As he was about to take a step further, he landed on the floor, raising the attention of the people around him. Hear what netizens are saying about him:

@pepsy said, "Dem go soon add 50 million falling allowance as permanent expenses"
@sugarthegoat said, "How economy won stand strong when president de fall??"
@ibk_adeniyii said, "One thing I’m going to tell people mocking him is that; one day you’ll be in his shoes (old age)"
@yoruba_dmn said, "Man is demonstrating Nigeria economy on democracy day"
