Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed sympathy for President Bola Tinubu after a video surfaced showing him falling while trying to climb onto the presidential parade vehicle.

During the June 12 Democracy Day celebration at the Eagles Square, President Tinubu fell heavily as he attempted to board the vehicle to parade the venue and greet Nigerians.

The video quickly went viral, prompting sympathies from various Nigerians, including Tinubu's political opponent in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Hours after the video of Tinubu falling circulated online, Atiku took to social media to express sympathy for the President's unfortunate incident.

In a post shared on his social media page, Atiku stated that he hopes all is well with Tinubu, sharing the video of the fall along with his message.

He wrote, "I sincerely sympathize with President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, over this unfortunate incident as he was preparing to review the parade on Democracy Day. I do hope that all is well with him. -AA"

His post elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media, with some describing it as sarcastic.

This isn’t good coming from you. You can sympathize with him without posting the video. This is more like mockery not sympathy. The table will turn and we will be here.

Tinubu is our president and insha Allah you will never be president in Nigeria.
