Popular social media commentator, VeryDarkMan, has reacted to the viral video of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stumbling during a public appearance in Turkey.


In his reaction, VeryDarkMan stated that he would not mock the president over the incident, noting that Tinubu is an elderly man and that many world leaders have experienced similar moments in the past. However, he admitted that the incident was still embarrassing, especially given the president’s position.

He further stressed that the fall has once again raised conversations about President Tinubu’s age, pointing out that the president is now clearly advanced in years and no longer as physically agile as younger leaders.

“I’m not going to laugh at President Tinubu for falling in Turkey because he’s an old man, though it’s embarrassing. Many presidents have fallen before. However, the fact remains that President Tinubu is now old enough,” VeryDarkMan said.
