Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 General Election has described the fall President Bola Tinubu suffered during the 2024 Democracy Day parade as unfortunate.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports President Tinubu fell on Wednesday while trying to board the vehicle for the parade at Eagle Square as part of activities to mark 25 years of democracy in Nigeria.
While the presidency had disclosed that the president is okay, Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, stressed Tinubu’s fall should remind everyone of the need for compassion, empathy and unity.
“I was saddened to learn of President Tinubu’s unfortunate fall today. I wish him well. We achieve nothing by gloating about an accident that could well happen to any of us.
“We are all human beings and, while we profoundly disagree on how to move Nigeria forward, we must remember our common human frailty. Let us stay focused on the issues that will lead to a new Nigeria.
“May this moment serve as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the need for compassion, empathy, and unity in our pursuit of a brighter future for our great nation,” Obi stated.
Meanwhile, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, has said political leaders are human too, stressing that Tinubu is not a superman.
“President Tinubu is not a Superman. He is human like all of us. President Biden has had several slips in the last three years. Even the younger Barack Obama slipped while President. Political leaders are human. Slipping should not detract from the import of Democracy Day celebration,” Onanuga stated.
