The Presidency has dismissed speculations about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s health following a brief stumble during an official reception ceremony in Ankara, Türkiye, describing the incident as minor and medically insignificant.
According to the Presidency, the momentary misstep occurred as the President was navigating the ceremonial platform and did not in any way affect his physical wellbeing or ability to carry out official duties. Officials stressed that President Tinubu remained in high spirits and continued with his scheduled engagements immediately after the event.
The clarification followed widespread reactions and social media discussions that raised questions about the President’s health after video clips of the incident circulated online.
Presidential aides described the incident as a routine, non-issue that had been exaggerated, urging the public to focus on the substance of the President’s diplomatic engagements rather than unfounded concerns.
