NEWS EXTRA: Tinubu slips while boarding presidential parade vehicle on Democracy Day

 

President Bola Tinubu slipped while boarding the presidential parade vehicle at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day, on Wednesday.

The event was held at the Eagles square in Abuja.

The incident occurred as the president approached the vehicle shortly after his arrival at the venue.

Although he momentarily lost his footing, Tinubu quickly regained his balance and continued with the programme.

 

 

Tinubu had earlier addressed the issue of minimum wage in his national broadcast to mark the 25th anniversary of unbroken democracy in Nigeria.

In his speech, he promised that the new national minimum wage will soon be sent to the national assembly for approval.

“We shall soon send an executive bill to the national assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon as part of our law for the next five years or less,” Tinubu said.

“I take on this vital task without fear or favour and I commit myself to this work until we have built a Nigeria where no man is oppressed.”
