Just In: Presidency Breaks Silence on Tinubu’s Health After Turkey Stumble

The Presidency has issued a statement to reassure Nigerians about the health and well-being of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his state visit to Türkiye.

This comes in response to concerns raised following a brief stumble at a public event in Ankara.

According to reports from Arise News, the incident was attributed to a poorly laid blue carpet at the venue rather than any health-related issue.

The Presidency clarified that the President experienced a momentary loss of balance during a welcome reception but quickly regained his footing without disrupting his schedule.

Furthermore, the Presidency emphasized that the flooring arrangement was the cause of the stumble, aiming to quell any speculations about the President’s health circulating on social media.

Since the incident, President Tinubu has continued with his official engagements, including discussions with Turkish authorities as part of his visit.

He is also expected to jointly address a press conference with his hosts after ongoing meetings.

According to the Presidency, Tinubu remains in high spirits and good health, and continues to lead Nigeria’s diplomatic engagements.
