The Presidency has dismissed concerns about President Bola Tinubu’s health during his state visit to Turkey, blaming a minor stumble on a poorly laid carpet.
The incident occurred at a welcome reception in Ankara, where the president tripped twice. An official statement attributed the mishap to the “not well-laid blue carpet” and confirmed Tinubu has fully resumed duties.
