In a statement in Abuja, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President, Bayo Onanuga, reminded Nigerians that his principal was not superhuman.
He wrote: “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,” the presidential aide wrote on his X handle.
“Political leaders are human. Slipping should not detract from the import of the Democracy Day celebration.
