Tinubu’s Parade Vehicle Incident: A Moment of Concern
During the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Kano on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, an unfortunate incident occurred involving the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. As Tinubu stood atop a parade vehicle greeting supporters, he suddenly tripped and fell, hitting his head on the floor of the vehicle. Eyewitnesses reported that Tinubu’s fall appeared to be a misstep, rather than a deliberate act. Concerned aides and supporters rushed to his aid, assisting him to his feet. However, it was evident that Tinubu had sustained some degree of injury. Medical personnel were quickly summoned, and Tinubu was taken to a nearby hospital for examination. According to the latest updates from his campaign team, Tinubu is currently undergoing tests to determine the extent of his injuries. While the full details of the incident and Tinubu’s condition are yet to be released, the news has sparked widespread concern among his supporters and the general public. Many have taken to social media to express their hope for Tinubu’s speedy recovery. Tinubu, a seasoned politician and former governor of Lagos State, is considered the frontrunner in the upcoming presidential elections scheduled for February 25, 2023. His health and well-being are therefore of paramount importance to the outcome of the election. The APC has called for calm and urged its supporters to remain prayerful for Tinubu’s quick recovery. The party has also assured the public that Tinubu will continue to lead the campaign, albeit with necessary adjustments to accommodate his condition. As the nation anxiously awaits updates on Tinubu’s health, it is essential to remember that he is a human being who, like all of us, is susceptible to accidents and injuries. Let us extend our well wishes and support to Tinubu and his family during this challenging time.On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu stumbled and fell while attempting to climb onto the back of a parade vehicle at Eagles Square.On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu stumbled and fell while attempting to climb onto the back of a parade vehicle at Eagles Square. Tinubu fell face down during the June 12 Democracy Day commemoration. It was unclear from the video of his fall whether he was caught in the web of his flowing agbada, causing a misstep, or whether he was struggling with an unsteady gait due to possible ill health. The guards surrounding him were unable to prevent the Nigerian president from falling and hitting the floor of the vehicle. In the run-up to the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu, reacting to growing concerns about his ill health, had infamously said: “If you hear them say, can I do it? I’m not applying for the gravedigger job; I don’t run, I’m not a horse. I am not applying for masonry. I went to school to study accounting and management. “I’m applying for a brain job; intelligent thinking; It’s a job for someone who is willing to do things well. I will not let Nigerians down. I have the brains and the ability.” There was a time when Tinubu spent three months in a London hospital, where his media office said he underwent knee surgery and it took him a long time to rehabilitate. A video of Mr Tinubu’s dress soaked from behind published by Peoples Gazette two weeks ago sparked fresh rounds of criticism among Nigerians, with many suggesting that the APC boss suffers from urinary incontinence. Days later, Tinubu’s protégé Rauf Aregbesola, then interior minister, mocked him at a political rally by saying “won ti n to ara”, a Yoruba expression meaning “they are already urinating on themselves”.
