President Bola Tinubu missed his step and fell while walking into a vehicle that would convey him for a parade at Eagle Square in commemoration of Democracy Day.
The president, who had earlier delivered a nationwide broadcast, arrived at Eagle Square for the parade on Wednesday morning.
He was surrounded by men of the Armed Forces and some of his personal aides.
However, Tinubu who wore a white native attire popularly known as agbada and his signature cap, struggled to save himself by holding on to the vehicle, but landed on the ground while his aides rushed to support him back to his feet.
The parade later continued as the president waved to the crowd while the vehicle slowly made its way through.
