The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, said the president was a human being afterall.
On his X handle, his statement reads: “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.”
